Re: "If the distribution (as it is widely defined and understood) is "centered around 940", this would imply some parts are above 940, and some below, right? How would it come that the 933 parts will be still in "some" shippability according to you? Please clarify." Sorry, I don't think I was very clear. I mean centered at 940MHz without guardband. If a 933MHz part must have a 12% guardband, it must be at last 1045MHz to ship as 933MHz. If the center of the distribution is 940MHz +/-15% (without guardband), then there will be some parts up to 1081MHz. Any part between 1045MHz and 1081MHz can be shipped as a 933MHz part although there may not be many. Given that Intel said today, the 1GHz part will ship in the second half (JULY/AUG) of 2000,I would expect the new stepping to include the ability to launch a 933MHz speed grade by April. Thus, they will probably push up the center of the distribution to maybe 980MHz to insure enough 933MHz parts with 12% guardband. I still think they might bump up the voltage to 1.7V or 1.75V to squeeze out the 1GHz parts. They did it at .25um to squeeze out the 600MHz part. We'll see soon enough. THE WATSONYOUTH
