I think Intel is looking to do the following...all costs saving measures. 1. Hardwire the cachless PII to a motherboard 2. Eliminate L2 cache saves $20 3. Eliminate the cartridge, use bare chip. Saves $20. That $40 savings brings the chip to maybe $60 cost on .35u. Maybe less on .25...$40? Offer a slot for L2 cache on the motherboard. Allow Compaq to sell it for $50. Sell it to Compaq. Could they also develop a multifunction sister chip like the GXs that would address audio and video in a manner to increase bus speed up over 100MZ?
