    152M transistors, 1.75MB integrated on-die L2 cache... integrated RDRAM memory controller with 8 channels...

    They should go all the way and integrate either one of these into the packaging:

    • Heat exchanger for Freon-based cooling system;
    • 1,000,000-CFM fan with exhaust duct (might require special municipal permit to get installed);
    • Chimney;
    • Frying pan.

    Suddenly, Athlons seem mighty cool (literally).
