The fact is that most purchasers of PIII are unaware that it has twice the L2 cache of Celeron.

Consumers who look at cache sizes are probably also going to read a performance review of the processor somewhere, which will probably come down in favour of the Athlon. It seems that Northwood does not benefit much from the increased cache.

Dale, Re: What happens if Intel forces AMD to increase L2 cache size only to have AMD outsource production to USMC, Motorola, or IBM?

Unfortunately AMD isn't allowed to outsource more than 25% of their total CPU volume because of contracts with Intel.
