Kenith, All - dell is burning all bridges with AMD ......"I mean, if - if, you know, AMD comes to us and says: "please sell a computer with our chip in it," we don't feel compelled to do that, unless we think we can make more money than selling a computer with Intel's chip in it"...... I always suspected that dell is an idiot and that confirmed it. After statement like that he is at complete mercy of Intel. He is not thinking of the future of his company and the industry. If he had any say in his company now he will not since he is at complete mercy of supplier. Regards -Albert

Does this mean (the bold part above) Intel will remove the L1 cache to "further shrinking" for the low end? <ggg> That's an excellent suggestion for the copycat!! The technology loser could only play the game on L2 cache to cheat the average Joe & Mary. Your suggestion to vary the L1 cache size/existence will do the tricks they need.
