Chuckles - Re: "Sharky seems to be talking about replacements to current PIII line). This seems like a major manufacturing deal to me"

It is !

And look at the benefits - the Coppermine die size is about 106 sq. mm. vs 130 +/- sq. mm.. for the Pentium III (0.25 micron) .

And yields on the 0.18 micron process are excellent (in the Intel sense of the word).

That's an 18% die size reduction - not to mention a great cost reduction in packaging - since external L2 SRAM chips are eliminated - and the Coppermine can slip into a "cheap" FC-PPGA package.
