Go up one level in this thread
I read some information on Tom's Hardware Guide at http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/00q2/000415/roadmap2000-03.html#amds_processor_plans_for_2000 but it only says there that the core is shrunk and optimized. But I would think there must be some more differences than just on die cache because there are also new chipsets to be introduced that only work with Thunderbird and up? It is not clear if Thunderbird can run with multiple processors with this AMD 770 chipset, it says that "Mustang" will be able to do that. Maybe the "Spitfire" will also be an interesting chip, it will certainly be cheaper than the "Thunderbird". It only has 64 kB on die(= on the chip itself) cache though as opposed to 256 kB or maybe even 512 kB for the "Thunderbird". Intel's Celeron has already 128 kB L2 cache. Regards, Eelco
