chipguy, you forgot something -

Hmmm, A64 CPU + 512 KB = 83 mm2, Dothan CPU + 2 MB = 87 mm2.

Should read:

Hmmm, A64 CPU + 512 KB + memory controller = 83 mm2, Dothan CPU + 2 MB = 87 mm2.

Dothan CPU + 2 MB = 87 mm2.

I have to say Intel has impressive cache density. AMD really needs to work on that.

But Dothan core should be much smaller? This delta is only partially cache.

Let wait till we see Dothan desktop performance. But I don't expect any miracles there.
