Williamette is the next-generation x86 architecture machine. It has (will
have) a way accelerated CPU clock and even more instructions execute in
fewer clocks, but it has a deeper pipeline and increased instruction
latency. First generation Williamettes are supposedly going to debut around
1.2GHz and go up from there. It also has more and better onchip cache, both
L1 and L2. I believe it has some major structural changes to the PPro/P2/P3
style bus, requiring completely new chipsets.
