They seem to be ignoring the fact that several fast processors can be put on one chip. If they were so inclined, I don't think it would be a problem to put 4 (original) Pentiums on one chip. And there would probably be some space left over for L2 cache. AMD is taking this approach, but I don't know when they will have a product ready, or how much it will cost. There's no manufacturing reason for such a product to cost more than a single processor, but I assume they will milk it for all it's worth. -Tom
