Sorry for the on topic but here goes -

Re: "Agreed. I'm skeptical that final yields could be that good on a brand new chip, but, if they are, IMHO it's a real achievement and Intel should be congratulated"

Unfortunateky it's not likely going to happen. Defects don't know what kind of a die they're killing. I am neither confirming or denying PIII sort yields but if PIII is at 80%, then P4 would be lucky to be at 50% on the same process. 70% for P4 with it's large die is not possible on this process, unless P3 jumps to 90%+. I guess it could happen. Intel occasionally has perfect wafers.
