Petz, Re: "So I think it is safe to say that Clawhammer will have a 1M L2. That leaves room for a much larger core+L1, going from about 20M transistors to 34.4M transistors. Possible the L1 is also enlarged?" How about more Hypertransport links? wbmw

Petz, I doubt that Clawhammer will have 100M chips. How do you go from .18u chips with ~120mm^2 die size which has 37.5M transistors to .13u chip that is 104mm^2 and has 100M transistors? I recall Hans mentioned that AMD is using very inefficient SRAM cell, which has a lot of room for improvement, but this kind of improvement is just not credible. Joe
