Cringe - Re: "And Merced won't have that problem?" Merced will dissipate lots of power - my guess the MODULE, including L2 cache - will dissipate 85 to 110 watts. But MERCED is going into SERVERS & Workstations initially - where that power is commonplace - such as 113 watts for the Alpha 21264. AMD's problem is that they are trying to stuff 50 or 60 watts of Karnage 7 into a desktop machine where costs are critical and MOST PC makers provide little value-added engineering. Paul
