Re: "Never happen. IMO. Corollary might be will Toyota ever give up "entry level" cars, even with Camry, 4runner, etc. selling extremely well? I don't think Toyota, or Intel will give up the low end, as long as their markets stay anything like today. 25 years from now, who knows?" I agree. Another reason is with process technology changing so fast, big companies like Intel need secondary product lines to utilize the 2nd & 3rd generation removed technology. Like their chipsets for example are probably just now starting to utilize the .25u process as the top of the line products move off of that and onto .18u. Other less glamorous products are probably still using the .35u process, what capacity still remains. I think the 440BX is .35u and it is still a very big runner. Someone told me it is the highest volume logic design ever, excluding some old 8 bit microcontrollers keyboard controllers etc. EP
