Tony & Intel Investors - from a Tualatin Wafer photo, I counted 332 complete physical Tualatins - and estimated the die size at 81 sq. mm.

With AMD's Mobile AthWiper4US at 128 sq. mm. (0.18 micron process), Intel's 0.13 micron Tualatin is (81/128) 37% SMALLER than AMD's - as well as SIGNIFICANLT LOWER POWER.

Don't forget TWICE the L2 cache as well - 512 K vs. 256 K.

Look for Intel to have incredible pricing power for these chips as they have just a HUGE manufacturing advantage over AMD in the high-end "mobile space" !!
