<Chuck - re: Is this a fair comparison? 122 sq.mm Coppermine has a built-in L2 and 108 sq.mm K7 does not (there is a version of K7 in the works with built-in L2 but I have not come across any die sizes). Unless you are expecting K7 without L2 to be par better with Coppermine with L2.>

Chuck,

What is unfair is to compare K7 die size at 0.25 to Coppermine's at 0.18. As far the L2 is concerned, K7 has a much bigger L1: 128k.

COngratulations !

You are learning much faster than Kal Kan Dog Food and Jimbo McPanic !

By the way, Coppermime is 109 sq, mm, NOT 122 sq. mm.

Of course, Intel will be "compacting" the Coppermine over the next 6 months to shrink it further.
