Re: "Same team that did Timna? (sincerely curious)" Essentially. This team did a superb job in making an integrated CPU - graphics, CPU, Memory controller, L1/L2 cache - in the same size chip as a plain Coppermine. Re: "Hopefully, the administration (of Intel) won't make the engineers' work virtually impossible by requiring it to use some new exotic and expensive memory type..." Of course not - they already did that with Timna - and that KILLED Timna. Besides - Intel's i815 controller has already established that it is one of the BEST PC133 Memory Controllers. Re: "So similar time frame as mobile P4? (ermm.. the "real" mobile P4... the .10µ one)." Maybe. Re: "What do you expect the absolute performance of "Banias" to be like?" Let's just say that AMDroids should love the Performance metrics !
