Notebooks to get faster without Intel! infoworld.com It's interesting to witness that 100Mhz bus speed go for notebooks. 100Mhz bus speed might help K6-3D and MXi take over the high-end notebook market from Intel.

Craig, That could not be right since the PII and L2 cache could be tested adn certified separately. I would speculate that the cacheless PII would be soldered directly onto motherboards. There are two folds advantages for Intel: 1) Give Cyrix and AMD no chance to ride over the ready market from it. 2) Give end users the performance that they deserve from $100 CPU. If these users need more power, they would be forced to upgrade to other more expensive Intel processors. It is shame to watch the power house could only play the L2 cache game while Cyrix is to attack the performance with 128-bit data bus. If MXi could impletement a full speed 2MB L2 cache as an expensive option, SLOT 1/2/A would be history in no time.
