It's on a new processing fab of .13 microns and yes, it's a coppermine, and it just lets them get higher clock speeds.

There will also be the option of 256 or 512K caches. The higher perfomance lies in that and in the higher clock speed potential. It is the same core though.

Also of note... They use new motherboards, so that sucks

Abit has released a BIOS update for the BX-133 board supporting the Coppermine T or Tulaitin CPU. Hopefully more board manufacturers will follow suit.

Yeah, i was excited to hear the news, i just hope Asus updates for my CUBX. I've heard the Tulaitin (or CoppermineT) is a decent over-clocker as well.
