Combjelly, you used 90mm^2 as the die size for the 512kb L2 cache part @ 90nm (Winchester). However, AMD already gave 102mm^2 for that one at the latest presentation !?!
CJ, Beats me. I realize the rating for the HPaq whatever-it-is seems high, but I can't explain it. I doubt if they removed 64 bit capability, that would be a huge task for dubious benefit. To realize any IPC increase would mean pretty much a complete re-design which just doesn't make sense for that product.
CJ, Petz - I'm relatively clueless here, but if they were to do this(castrate K8), wouldn't it be more likely that they would just force one of the legacy modes or disable the long mode? At least initially, with die changes made in the future if there were substantial size/cost savings to be had? Paul PS. This still seems like a bizarre product to me. To castrate it on capabilities rather than performance seems unwise.
