Profits, re: <The Katmai, Tanner, Coppermine, Cascades and Willamette are all based on the Katmai core.> Uh, Willamette isn't going to be a Katmai core. It, as well as Foster, will be a totally new core, the true "P7" if you will. There is a huge team of engineers working on it right now in Intel Oregon. <Reality is that Celeron, CeleronA, Pentium II, and Xeon are all built using the same P6 core.> You know that the big technical difference between all these offerings is the L2 cache, right? Well, it seems that AMD will be following this strategy with its flexible off-chip L2 cache on the K7. Seems like Intel's P6-proliferation strategy is deemed worthy of imitation. Tenchusatsu
