<AMD won't be adding on-die L2 cache until they transition to the .18 process. I don't know this for a fact, but it makes sense.>

I know that, but we can't make a valid comparison between a 0.18 micron K7 (with or without on-die L2 cache) and a 0.25 micron Celeron. We can only compare the 0.25 micron generation and use that as a predictor for the 0.18 micron generation.

Speaking of which, I wonder what's the die size of Dixon, a.k.a. Pentium II Enhanced. It should be comparable to the K7 die size, yet easier to manufacture.
