Re: "Is the .13 process so bad that yields of the P4 core would be disastrous and so Intel can only produce P3s?" Nope. Intel has one fab running 0.13 micron process and they are bringing up a second fab. They can't convert 5 fabs at once. Standard manufacturing procedures are to ramp up those parts that need the added speed the most - and the Pentium III (Tualatin) is the natural choice. The 0.18 micron Pentium 4 already beats the crap out of any AMD CPU in speed - so Intel feels no pressure to intro a 0.13 micron Pentium 4 - they have MORE HEADroom left in the 0.18 micron product - as everybody knows except the AMDroids !
