RDM - <First of all, going to a smaller fabrication process is a difficult task some delays will more than likely prevent the Coppermine-600 from competing with the K7>

RDM, Coppermine will not be te first product out on .18. A 400MHz Mobile Pentium II with on die L2 cache should be out sometime this quarter, according to several Intel Execs that have spoken in public recently. This suggests a viable .18 process is already in place. I believe Coppermine is scheduled for sometime in Q3, according to Intel guidance, with no announced slips. I'd advise this fellow to revisit this portion of his analysis.

I do agree going to a smaller feature size process does take some work :-))

RDM,
RE:"Don't forget that the
die-size increases from the K6-2 to K6-3 with 135-81= +/- 54 mm² and
an extra 256 L2-cache won't do much."

I believe the author is mistaken about the K6-III die size. I think it's 118mm2.

Re: "K7 vs Coppermine. Here's where the real fireworks begin!"

RDM, that was the most ill informed speculation I have seen in a long time.
