Two big problems with that. Coppermine came up just fine on 0.18 micron and it represented a major change to the P3 core...

Fin,

Actually, I believe that 0.18u did not come up using CuMine. It came up on the Deschutes Mobile P3, which I believe at that time was running at ~ 400MHz on the previous 0.25u Process. Intel historically has done it this way, I believe, because it is easier to achieve good yields on a new process on slower MHz die, and a shrink to a smaller line width usually results in lower power requirements. 2 factors that make Mobile chips very desirable as "First Product". You know what they say about history repeating itself...
