Tony - Re: "What does Willamette bring to the WS and server party?"

My guess is that Willamette will have an "updated" P6 architecture with additional decoders, more execution units - most likely FPU - and possibly an improved bus architecture for faster data transfers.

It will be built on the 0.18 micron process.
