Paul, <where is the advantage of this smaller die size?> You too... I forgot nothing. The 256 vs. 128 was for illustration mostly, for dummies like you. The availability changes nothing in the proof: Yousef for the last two years was trying to proof (theoretically, using Idsat and Leff techno-lingo) that AMD process technology is inferior to Intel; I just pick up two devices to compare. Using this example, the advance of AMD technology is clear. If you are so picky about availability, try to count transistors on K6-2-350 at 81 mm2 and the vanilla Celeron at 131mm2, for your own exercise. Both are L2-cacheless and available, he-he-he. (I was too lazy to do this...) This concludes that Yousef is a technological joker here. Forever.
