Here's a quicky -- so what is the die size of the Pentium III?

<tweaked the process to get it into 1.8V> Anand was contacted by Intel and told that the voltage is 2.0, not 1.8. I wonder what this means. Tenchusatsu

Ali All that technical, chip design stuff that you talked about in your message is true, but the main fact is that INTC hasn't been able to do anything signifigant(in terms of CPU design) but introduce new instructions and increase clock speed since the Pentium Pro.(I would hold that their instruction introductions have ben seriously flawed). I doubt that their superiority has even one year left, even at the high end of the market. I assert that in the low end of the market, Most Any Old Chip will do given a good internet connection. tgptndr
