<Here's a conspiracy theory that favors Intel -

Maybe the 500 - 733 Cumines are made on the non-notched process which was only applied to a fab or two. Since 733s are "impossible" to get, it could be the max for this process. And these fabs may use this process to take over the lower MHz PIII production.

And maybe the other fabs Intel has are going to use the notched process and they are now ramping up. And if this notched thing is as good as the articles about it claim, Intel may be getting only 733s, 750s, and 800+ off this process. >

I don't know about conspiracies but this is one of those few theories that can reconcile what I hear from from the rumor mill and what PB says on this board.

Only minor hitch is that I thought PB said that notched gates came into production along with the CuMine October ramp (i.e., not something new that is beginning now).
