Pentium III 700 w/256K cache?

[felix726]

OK someone please help me out here. The new PIII's with this 256k advanced transfer cache, are they the copermine? This advanced transfer cache is on baord and not a level 2 like with the previous PII's and PIII's right? So that makes them faster right? Isn't that the same type of cache they used on the celeron? Do they run on a 133mhz fsb or on a 100mhz fsb? The reason I ask is because I am thinking of buying a new PC froom Dell and they are now offering these processors but with PC100 SDRAM and not PC133, and I thought the copermine's had a 133mhz fsb so I am a bit confused.

yes they are the coppermine,the 256kb are on die running with the speed of the cpu like the 128kb of a celeron so l2 speed of a 700 coppermine is also 700 mhz
there are two variants
one which runs the 100 bus and the most expensive with the 133 bus
both have isse a slightly improved p3 core in 0,18 micron and the fullspeed cache.
hope i helped you
