Re: "What is unfair is to compare K7 die size at 0.25 to Coppermine's at 0.18"

What is fair is the fact that Intel is already in production at .18u. AMD is not.

Kap,

"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."

I agree that Paul's comparison may not look fair but I guess Paul is asserting that given AMD's track record there may be a period of time when a 0.25u K7 competes with 0.18u Coppermine. Time will tell.

KalKan2Us,

Re: "What is unfair is to compare K7 die size at 0.25 to Coppermine's at 0.18."

But KalKan ... The K7 will be competing against the .18um Coppermine, right ??
Maybe the K7 will just have to compete against other .25um Intel processors
like the Celeron. <ggg>

Make It So,
