<A chipset vendor who wants to provide a better product than Whitney.>

Consider the return-on-investment, Scumbria. I would predict that adding that third level of cache can't really buy much more than 5% additional performance. I'm pretty sure that the performance analysis guys at Intel have looked at it and decided it wasn't worth the effort.

Or maybe Intel hasn't considered it, and a third-party chipset vendor has a prime window of opportunity here.

scum bria - Re: " A chipset vendor who wants to provide a better product than Whitney."

Whitney isn't even out yet, almost no details have been released - and you seem to think that Whitney isn't a good chip set.

I think you represent the nervous paranoid AMDroids - rightly so !

The pressure on AMD's ASPs is increasing - 400 MHz K62's now at $99 on Pricewatch_it_drop.com
