Mani - <<AMD is terrible at managing expectations, IMHO.>>

You got me there. I believe you, at least, understand that this is a somewhat high risk venture, for AMD and it's investors, if I read your previous posts correctly. Having Sanders and AMD throwing out WAG's certainly doesn't help gauge what the risk factor really is. IMHO, of course.

Mani, et al (Scumbria) - Latest Reister WAG on Coppermine

Thread, as always, I neither confirm or deny. Trying to determine if Register reports are genuine or WAG is kind of like trying to predict what the toy will be in an unopened box of Cracker Jacks, IMHO.

Intel Coppermine to have 256K on die

A distributor said today that he had a copy of an Intel roadmap which showed that .18 micron Coppermine technology will include 256K of on-die cache.

The cache will be on both Pentium IIIs and Pentium III Xeons, according to the source, who declined to be named.

The technology is waiting for the chipset to arrive but is expected to proliferate during the second half of this year, he said.

The Pentium III will debut at 600MHz, at the end of September, and with a 133MHz front side bus (FSB) but Intel will expect a premium from customers, with prices expected to be in the $750 range.

Last week, Intel refused to comment on whether the processors will have on-die cache. ®
