Tench:AMD would have loved to enter the markets Mustang was targeted at because of the much bigger profit margins. But the high-end chipset and platform support did not materialize as they had once hoped. As it turns out, AMD realized a significant enough performance edge in this market (workstation, low-end server) through MP chipset design (e.g. EV6 protocol in Thunder K7). I don't see a larger cache increasing that market enough to justify the new part - especially with hammer as a follow-up. AMD nixed Mustang in Nov. 2000. Tyan announced Thunder K7 in Feb. 2001, and it appeared in June. eCo
