Re: "I guess we'll refer to these "phony pony" chips as Geldings !" Intel started shipping processors with 150+ million transistors a couple of years ago. First on a .25u process with HP's Intel fabed CPUs, followed by Intel's own Xeons with 1 & 2Meg L2 cache moving to .18u technology. AMD has never broken the 256K cache barrier and now we have them essentially giving up on Must-tank and throwing in the towel. Meanwhile SMP doesn't work either. They're praying that they can get 2-way SMP working by next summer(that'll be 2 years since they had it working in the lab) but only with dumbed down 256K L2 Palomino's. That will catch them up with where Intel was about 5 years ago, architecturally speaking. AMD has never shipped a device that was SMP capable and the way things are going maybe they never will. Will someone remind us why AMD's bus architecture is so superior? EP

Paul, guess Intel has the market cornered in big caches. Check these prices from Ace's HW. The $3692 is back. What a market AMD walked away from. C'est la Vie.
