AFAIK, both. Coppermine is the code name of the low level arch of
the chip.

Really, the kernel should be querying the builder: Have you a
Deschutes, a Mendocino or a Coppermine ? How much cache do you have ?
But that is rarely known (Uh? I bought a Pentium III). You have to 
guess from the answer to:
Have you a PII, an old Celeron (Mendocino) or a new Cel-PIII (Copper).

MWINCHIP3D is for the Winchip-2A and above, which have 3dnow!
instructions. Until recently it was using the 3dnow memcopy stuff.
It got disabled when the memcopy stuff was overhauled to give even
bigger wins on the Athlon. Which makes sense given that there are
a lot more Athlons out there than Winchips.

Who knows, maybe the old 3dnow! copy routine will make a comeback
in a future kernel just for Winchip-2As and above. Just needs someone
to find the time.

regards,

Davej.

Line 1650 takes precedence, *IF* the L2$ size is 128K.
