Pete,

Yes portland is a pilot line which will be copied exactly at several places.

The pilot line will run some production.

I think it will be qualified with PIII.

(the PIII with 512K onchip cache).

I doubt if they are running PIV shrinks there yet.

By qualified this means they run a BUNCH of silicon.

They test yields.

They move process shifts and evaluate yields.

They also run reliability on silicon to ensure adequate levels of device failure over high temp etc.

They earliest they can be qualified is Q1 2001.

Which would mean Q2 production.

Of course they may well slip.

But i wouldn't necassarily count on it, as intels fab people are pretty good.

regards,

Kash
