Paul, more transistors, more power consumption. 21.3 million transistors is more than twice the number of the PIII. How much power does the PIII suck up when you include the L2? There's the real comparison. Kevin

Paul, Kash, and anyone else, re: 2.4 volt K6-3, Does this mean that the K6-3 won't make it into mobile computers in its present form? As Greg Gimelli states (https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=7968052), "Might one surmise from this that once the K6-3 is released notebooks are quite a ways in the future lest AMD take MacDonalds place in burning customer's crotches?" Geez, and Dixon, that other CPU with 256K of on-die L2 cache, can run at 366 MHz with only 1.6 volts. I wonder how hard the laughter will be if I ask a Dixon engineer what will happen if they pushed the power to 2.4 volts. Tenchusatsu
