Re: "So the 6 layer .18u coppermine will outperform the 5 layer .18u Dixon, clock for clock, same bus speed, on non-SSE apps?" Maybe not but the new layout may allow for higher clockspeed over a 5-metal layer version even with both at .18u. Also it is not clear if there are other features added to Coppermine. There have been hints but nothing concrete. EP

Jim - Re: "So the 6 layer .18u coppermine will outperform the 5 layer .18u Dixon, clock for clock, same bus speed, on non-SSE apps? How much?" Probably not - but it will be CHEAPER ! The Coppermine is a relatively small die - for Intel - at only 109 sq. mm. - smaller than the 0.25 micron Kmart 63 at 118 sq. mm. and A LOT SMALLER than the Kflop 7 at 184 sq. mm. CLock for clock - the Coppermine and Dixon should perform nearly identical on non-SSE applications. Paul
