Paul, when will L2 cache running at CPU speed ? I heard Intel is going to make L2 cache running at full CPU speed. But when ? The following article is not clear. crn.com Thanks, -Henry

Paul, Does the statement below mean that Intel has in fact given NSM the right to reverse engineer their microprocessors as part of their cross licensing agreement? << Now that National Semiconductor has won the legal right to reverse-engineer Intel's microprocessors, Intel is telling its customers that it can double the number of microprocessors in its Pentium II module.>> Furthermore, does this agreement apply to future inventions or just past technology? Thirdly, you mention the 440BX chip set coming out in April. How does that differ from the 440LX chip set which I believe is on current Intel motherboards? I am a bit confused about the physical relation of the bus, the 440BX or LX, the AGP and the Video card. Can you explain or refer me to a straightforward source? I am real excited by the standardization of dual processors that seems to be promised by your post. For 15 years or so the battle has been for processor speed, shoving lots of data through one channel ie: linear programming. There must be the feeling now that software design can now handle parallel processing as if it were transparent. If multi-processors become standard, we are due for a new cycle of innovation and processing power in which Moore's law may have to be shortened to 6 to 12 months instead of 18. This will drive IT managers nuts and will make Intel investors rich. Regards, David S. Long on Intel and Iomega
