Jim - <0.18 the K7 die is 108 to Coppermine's 122. Your info is wrong with regard to Coppermine die size. It is not 122. I would say its very competitive with the die size you quote for K7. PB

McPanic - Re: :"Amazing how Paul has selective memory. <G> Kind of like that "non-boot" problem with the K6-2 and Win 95b" Looks like your memory is either selective or completely gone KAPUT - The 0.25 micron Pentium /// is 122 sq. mm. The 0.18 micron Coppermine with 256K on-chip L2 cache ALREADY IS 109 sq. mm. Thus, the SLOWER 0.18 micron K7 WITHOUT ANY on-chip L2 cache - and running at 1/3 speed or 1/2 speed off-chip L2 cache - will not only be about the same size as Coppermine, but significantly slower due to the slower off-chip L2 cache. Sorry to be the one to bring REALITY to you Jimbo AND Kal Kan ! Paul
