FYI, The Covington is a pile of dung. When you remove L2 cache from the Pentium II processor it's performance drops below Pentium Classic performance. If customers can't see that Intel is trying to pull a 486SX over on them, then they deserve to own it. It is simply a marketing ploy. Intel has carved out a reputation that Pentium II means performance and they are going to destroy that perception with Covington. What a joke. AMD's K6-266 die size will still be smaller than Covington. And, by the way, the yields on Fab 25's K6 (0.25u) are up 5-fold since the new management has been put in place. AMD wafer outs in the April timeframe will show the improved yields. Profits
