Ten,

I'd sure like to know what makes Palomino so special, so fast, and less power hungry than T-Bird.

A deeper pipeline and a years worth of power reduction efforts. Athlon has only been around for 18 months.

How much did the power consumption come down on Pentium Pro since it's intro?

Tenchusatsu,

Could be a hybrid 0.18u/0.13u process.

Jerry is not claiming it to be one of the features. We will see later this Q.
