<AMD can sell K7 without L2 to the lower end market. If 128K L2 is enough for Celeron to perform well, think how will 128K L1 would perform.> Oh great, a K7-leron. Just guess how well that will sell, especially when you consider that the Slot A platform isn't very well geared toward the low-end. No, AMD should stick to the K6-2 for the low-end, and perhaps the K6-3 in the future. Remember that the Celeron without L2 cache performed worse at 266 MHz than a Pentium MMX at 233 MHz. I would guess that a K7 without an L2 cache will perform worse than a K6-3 at equivalent clock speeds. Tenchusatsu
