<<But, Intel has several tricks up their sleeve that weren't discussed at the IDF. As for Katmai, it is being shrunk to 0.18 microns and an L2 cache is being added -Coppermine. It will blow away Dixon. The question for you is - what will it do to AMD?>> Absolutely nothing! Intel is not going to sell those chips for $100. Maxwell

Paul, Ahhh, now I remember, the Dixon will have another name, not Celeron. So maybe the Dixon replaces the current Pentium II and takes its name. Is a Dixon going to be cheaper to make than a Pentium II? Also seems like a Sharptooth and a Dixon will be neck and neck speedwise except that the K6-3 will have 3DNOW! and a much smaller die size....then again yields will likely be better on the Dixon. Hummm, this is exactly what I suggested Intel do a few weeks ago. Will be interesting to see if they follow through. Looks like the current Pentium IIs days are numbered...again as suggested here. Jim
