I fully understood what you were saying then. But subsequent sales figures and shortages have proven that to be a lie, as there were supposed to be 4 fabs producing coppermines. This one fab alone could, according to you, produced 13 million p3 / q. the total sales of P3 for the quarter. Yet, there was a big shortage. Why??? That is why no one believed it then, and now.

Well you remain clueless. 1 million CuMines is easily within reach of several Intel fabs. The fact that you don't believe it just proves your level of expertise. Why not do a little number crunching? That would have shown you how easy it is without embarrassing yourself. Droids have claimed here Intel has multiple 10,000 WSPW fabs. It would only take 100 good die per wafer to produce 1,000,000 CuMines from one of those fabs. 100 GDPW would be terrible yield for Intel. I'm not agreeing that those fabs are really 10,000 WSPW but even at half that size, 5000 WSPW (small for Intel) that would be 200 GDPW. CuMine is smaller than Athlon so it should yield better. If you would only do a little number crunching for yourself you wouldn't make such foolish statements.
