Jim,

How long do you think it will take NSM to remedy these problems?

I am not sure how different the Cayenne core will be from M2 core. Most of the changes are supposed to be related to FPU. It might have been redesigned to achieve higher clock rates, but I don't think the redesign was radical. Jalopeno is going to be a more radical departure from the old design.

I am wondering if there will be any announcements of a standalone Cayenne chip. I think NSM should go with the new Celeron socket, if they do a standalone chip.

With MXi, there will not really be any reason for existance of MediaGX. Do you think it will be discontinued?

Joe

Jim,

RE:MXi was redesigned to run less instructions per clock cycle and run at higher clock cycles.

MXi uses the same core as the MII. Steve was commenting on Jalapeno.
