John,

P858 was the process code for Intels .18u process .13u (Gate length) that was used on Celerons up to about 850 Mhz and P3s up to about 1 ghz. Aluminum interconnects.

P860 is the current Intel process code for .13u (gate length .07u). Copper interconnects and low-capacitance dielectrics.

P12/8x derivatives...I suspect he is talking about Intels next generation process codes...P1262 and P1264, .10u (.09u) and .07u with .05u and .03 gate lengths.
P1262 will be used on the "Prescott" P4. 300mm wafers of course.
I appears that one secret to Intels process is that their research is always 2 generations ahead of current production.

Burn2learn said this however and it's seems condradictory unless he meant P86x to mean P85X...and I quote "I think P12X is on the same path as P86X. Consider human instinct and history, what comes next. I predict a repeat of P858 on the P12/8x derivatives."

Unless P12X is different than P12/8X.

Other than that, I can't say more without letting too much out of the bag... (small <G>)
