Joe,

<If they do make a small number of 1.5 GHz chips, these chips should be placed on the market at appropriate price, for example $2,000 as Tim suggested.>

Look at my response to Tim.

<If someone bids $2,000, fine, if nobody bids $2,000 than your (or marketing department) scenario comes to play: The chips will just be sitting there until they become $1,000 or $750 chips, that can fit easier to the marketing schemes.>

So, in the times when you are capacity constrained, you are making an argument for letting chips sit on the shelf because the marketing group made the mistake of introducing a $2000 ASP part into a consumer segment that typically wants to pay $600 for the whole system and where systems over $2000 have become rare?
