Petz - Better check out the Intel news. Intel is planning a CPU with 512K L2 cache on chip - the Cascades ! ... Now gamers are gonna love that chip - Katmai instructions and 512 K of on-chip cache. Unfortunately, Cascades is going to be slot 2, i.e. a Xeon. This isn't going to be a chip for gamers, unless your regular college junkie can afford to build Xeon workstations just for Quake deathmatches. Coppermine, however, is going to be Slot 1, the follow-up to Katmai. It's going to feature a 256K on-die cache, OLGA packaging, KNI, and a starting frequency of 600 MHz. It will probably be featured on the new Camino chipset including support for Rambus RDRAM. This will be the chip for hardcore gamers. Tenchusatsu
