milo, I suspect that they have sampled initial prototypes and are getting feedback from various people on what is good/bad/buggy and from their introduction timetable they have time for 2-3 prototypes in the optimization process. I know it takes a certain time in production to make volume, how much faster can a prototype part be made if a small group of wafers are started and rushed from stage to stage for fastest prototype time with 24/7 methods? I would expect them to get feedback and find strengths and weaknesses and then they must find what they need to change to correct those flaws, + other optimizations, and then make a mask set and then make that prototype run. Who knows what are the rock bottom times needed for these stages. I wouls assume there are places that do this quick turn around stuff for a premium price? Bill
