over het eventueel verdwijnen van het slot-1 stond iets bij BXBOARDS...
My, the times they are a changing. This News.com article reports that Intel is considering phasing out the Slot-1 architecture altogether to lower costs. The article alludes to the fact that Slot-1 is now unnecessary because of the obviously successful Celeron "A" technique of moving the L2 cache on to the CPU die instead of separating it as in the P2 design. Look for a new Intel CPU package sometime in that latter half of this year.The shift to 0.18 microns will yield similar, but different results. With these chips, Intel is going to start integrating more functions onto the processor. Coppermine and Cascades, the first to chips to be made under the new process, will contain 256KB of integrated cache memory, said sources. Current Pentium IIs have 512KB of secondary cache memory, but it sits alongside the processor and is not part of the same piece of silicon.
