A, Other than the larger cache it won't feature any other architectural improvements Sounds like Dirk is keeping the lid on Intel-style dumb architectural decisions. AMD is taking the sensible approach with Mustang. They are increasing the pipeline depth, and cache size. This leads to a faster clock and a lower miss rate. BTW: The P4 revelations from MPF make it sound less dumb than was originally advertised. Scumbria

Re: "There was no public demonstration of a running MP system as suggested by the AMD press release. Rather AMD showed a system with two Athlons (1.2 GHz, FSB266) and DDR-SDRAM behind closed doors on the 15th floor of Fairmont Hotel. However AMD's marketing manager Bob Mitton refused to show the inside of the system - probably some kind of raw assembled prototype" So what would have called this if Intel had done the same? Would you have confidence in Intel being able to deliver on their promises? EP
