Elmer,

Re: "Remember - Mcmannis said Willamette was slipping into 2001 !"

I don't completely dismiss this possibility. After all, if Willamette had actually taped out the Register would have a piece on it, don't you think? There have only been a couple of off the cuff remarks from unreliable sources that Willamette taped out, much less saw silicon. I'm still waiting for some confirmation."

Either Paul has heard something or he slipped off the lithium again.
Even Tench is calling for a Q4 Willy launch so a slip to 2001 wouldn't be a major slip...Wait a minute. Didn't Tench say he had a buddy working on Willamette...? I thought Intels stance was 2H'00 and Tench is saying Q4...maybe there has been a little "back to the drawing board" slip...
Seems that I agree with Scumbria, the Willy would have to be taping out now to launch by September...so if they have had to redo it for more MHZ...maybe it has slipped a bit...
Then again, there is the floppermine style launch, which means they could launch months before any real volume.

Jim
