Dan,

the rumored socket 370 chip is not Jalapeno, but Cayenne based. It is a standalone processor. The integrated version of the Cayenne chip (MXi) seems to be in the limbo now.

The major problem with MXi is the lack of L2. Even though it was supposed to have 64K L1 instead of 16K in MediaGX, performance-wise it was probably too little too late.
