<The 700MHz baby is... the Intel Pentium III 550. Heh...not the K7 guys, sorry>

It's yet another attempt by Anand to predict the future. He's saying that the off-chip L2 cache is limiting the 0.25 micron Pentium III speeds, not the processor core itself. He tried disabling the L2 cache and found that his Pentium III engineering sample was able to hit 700 MHz, though stability was pretty bad.

He says that Intel could release a 600 MHz Pentium III on the current 0.25 micron process if Intel really wanted to.

Re: "He admits it's a 550 PIII. Hard to understand the mystery when it performs identically to a 550MHz PIII which he posts as well!!. Go figure."

Anand is a miserable hypester. If he doesn't watch it people are going to get annoyed with him.
