700MHz Shoot-Out, Intel Comes Out On Top (Part 1)
News The actual die size of the new Coppermine is smaller than the old Pentium III (0.25 micron), despite having a far larger transistor count due to the onboard L2 cache. Current Athlons are still manufactured with a 0.25 micron process, which means...

Next Itanium To Run At 1.5GHz, Says Intel
News But because it's a server product, that kind of die size is acceptable. The 374 square millimetre "die" size is a bit smaller than the 421 square millimetre size of Itanium 2, but still is large and therefore pricey.
