extremely large cache sizes. Paul, What is your definition of "extremely large?" They seem to be of the mind that they (Intel) can now do in silicon more advanced "systems integration" that is cheaper than with external , discrete components. Brilliant concept. Didn't Cyrix think that up a few years back? Scumbria

Paul, If the Celeron A is 154mm2 whats your estimate of the size of the die for the Dixon w/256k in die? Not sure I agree that the Dixon will cost more to make than a current Pentium II. Close though and the Dixon will be the faster chip. If the Sharptooth will "out bench" a similar speed Pentium II I'd expect Intel, as competitive as they are, to "slot one" a Dixon. Then again the Pentium II is already ramped and ramping the Dixon will cost money. Can you shed some light on whether it's a good idea for Intel to ramp up the Dixon and replace the current Pentium II with it? Jim
