Amy, <I am not an engineer, others can say this better than me, i.e.>

... Paul, Elmer. ????

Thanks for elaboration. These two individuals are
really a good source of unbiased information :)
Keep listening to them, and everything will be
all right:)

You seem to think that if you cut off bumpers
on a Chevy Cavalier, it will run as BMW 740i.
Your advisers also think that if bolts and
nuts on an engine are made shinier and stronger,
the car will run faster. Maybe, but not to
the extent they tend to believe. In short, it
is extremely naive to think that "design shortcuts"
can produce faster processors. A faster processor
could be only a result of perfectly aligned and tuned
software development tools coupled with sophisticated
verification techniques and extremely focused
logical engineering, all within limits of
manufacturing equipment.

<Intel is set up to do large volume manufacturing and this means the yield requirements (the important factors to high-volume manufacturing) create design requirements which..>
Do you mean volumes like Floppermine-733? :) :)
I wonder, looking for Intel 0.18 parts availability
(or lack of thereof), if Intel cannot meet their
own "requirements" as you say, why bother to introduce
parts at all? Cannot stand to be a loser?
