<SUN "goosed" the UltraSparc III speed in their ISSCC paper from 600 MHz to 800 MHz - so SUN thinks they are going to make their own - as usual.> Chuck: "Sun was probably underwhelmed with the Merced MHz. Jacking up the roadmap by 200MHz would make it look competitive and spread enough FUD to slowdown any Merced momentum before it starts." I believe TI fabs the UltraSparc III for SUN. Actually, the .18umn TI technology is quite good and their .13um (1.2V) device design is equal to Intel's. They CLAIM they will transition to .13um quickly. If SUN did a good job on the UltraSparc III design, it should be a marked improvement over what SUN offers now. I think the technology currently in the SUN systems is still .25um. THE WATSONYOUTH
