scum bria - Re: "Nice FUD Paul. PII and PIII don't have on-chip caches either." They also don't run at 600 MHz ! But they DO run the L2 cache at 1/2 CPU speed. By all accounts, AMD will have the Kmart 7 running the L2 cache at 1/3 CPU speed (although they also claim it can run at 1/2 cpu speed - IF they can get SRAMS to run at 300 MHz). Now, for the "kick-ass" markets, Intel does offer Pentium II Xeons and Pentium III Xeons that have FULL SPEED L2 caches. By the way, scum bria - Intel's Xeon processor prices indicate they make a LOT of PROFIT in that "kick-ass" server and workstation markets. Looks like AMD has already given up on those markets with the Kmart 7. Paul

scumbria - What do you make of today's announcement? AMD announces and "delivers" the 475 MHz Kmart 62, as you say faster than any Intel Pentium II - and what does the "market" do? AMD - UP a whopping $0.0625. Intel - UP a measly $6.625. Care to explain? Paul
