Not sure what Charlie meant by his headline here:

Athlon 64 3000+ comes into focus

Mists clear, fog rises, murk disperses

WE RAN a story yesterday about the Athlon64 3000+ that will debut next week.

See here. (http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=13153)

Since then, the story has come a little more into focus, or at least the picture has. Here we present you with an Athlon64 3000+ picture with text that is not horribly blurred out, and half the chip is not missing due to over eager use of the flash.

Benchmarks in the near future. µ

In looking at the part number, it's apparent that this chip is not a 1M cache chip. I can't say exactly what it is, but if I had to guess from the chart, I'd say 512K. So, I'm not sure how that clears up the fog, unless he's saying that they all will be 512K, which goes against a lot of the other evidence.

PS. Of course, he might just be referring to the lousy first picture he had in an earlier article.
