Jim, Re: "Mendocino...At 165 mm2 there would only be approx. 140 possible good die in a wafer. At even 80% yield, that's 112 good die. At a $150 ASP??? Am I missing something here? Doesn't the 165 mmý of Mendocino real estate include L2 cache of 128 KB, which, for PII, or any other æP has to be on other chips or on another die, a'la PPro? So, overall CPU design, including L2, is only one chip for Menocino, vs. several for PII or any other æP. Advantage, Mendocino! Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks. Tony
