Anyone knows the meaning? I am working on a paper about intel's p4 trace
cache an the word "on-die" keeps popping up and I cannot find it in my
dictionary. The net turns a whole bunch of German results (die). Please
help.

Sonoman asked wistfully...

Do you understand the term die when used in the context of a CPU?
Do you understand the meaning of the word "on"?

You just need to know what a "die" is:

die2 (dº) n., pl. dies or dice (dºs). 1., pl. dies. A device used for cutting
out, forming, or stamping material, especially: a. An engraved metal piece
used for impressing a design onto a softer metal, as in coining money. b. One
of several component pieces that are fitted into a diestock to cut threads on
screws or bolts. c. A part on a machine that punches shaped holes in, cuts, or
forms sheet metal, cardboard, or other stock. d. A metal block containing
small conical holes through which plastic, metal, or other ductile material is
extruded or drawn. 2., pl. dies. Architecture. The dado of a pedestal,
especially when cube-shaped. --die tr.v. died, die·ing, dies. To cut, form,
or stamp with or as if with a die.

I'm glad you raised that point. I thought relic needed chatting to about
