Judging by this chart, the market did not believe that the Pentium III flaw is really a software bug introduced by a German magazine. quote.yahoo.com This explanation was given at around 2PM. I wonder why? It sounds plausible to me. <ggg> Petz

<Which tags?> I could be wrong about increased superpipelineability. It looks like every tag was redesigned with newer XOR gates: "To achieve Pentium-III processor operating frequency, numerous speed paths needed to be optimized. One category relates to the use of domino tag comparators incorporated in various caches and buffers across the micro-architecture comprised of 8T XOR cells. An XOR gate shown in Figure 5.7.3 outperforms previous implementations on this processor in terms of delay, contention, backwriting, and reduced cross-capacitance impact." - from ISSCC '99
