Paul,
>> My guess, Intel wanted the performance boost - especially for lower cost XEON versions.

Wow! Why so much emphasis on coppermine? 0.13, 200Mhz FSB, 512KB L2 cache? Mid 2001 launch date! Won't P4 been out for more than 8 months by then?

I presume that Intel will have limited capacity on 0.13 next year, why would they not want to ramp P4 to 0.13, decrease core size, decrease power, boost MHz and blast AMD out of the water?

Mid 2001 introduction seems to be awfull late for the previous generation processor, when the next generation is supposed to be out for >=8 months!

TIA,

TG

P.S. The comment about xeons does not sound right. I doubt that (multi processor) Xeons would ever be released with a 200Mhz bus. Too difficult to do with Intel's (current) GTL+ bus.
