Kap, Re: "In the days of Mendocino there were no competition in the same performance ballpark, let alone at almost half the die size."

That's a good point, but if you think about it, die size could only put Intel at a disadvantage if it limits volumes, or if it limits cost cutting. In the case of the former, I think Intel will have plenty of fab capacity, and for the latter, I think Mendocino is a good example where Intel made money on this size die. Can you think of other disadvantages? Could it be that this "die size" argument is all just over-hyped?

Remember, Intel could come out with a Celeronized P4 (half the cache), and decrease the die size, if it had to for a lower priced product.

With no high end competition from AMD, they could cut them down to size the same way the Celeron did a few years back.
