9Is that your entire case?

That is not the case at all. Very simply, the case is if Intel's yields were outstanding at the 75% level for CWM, the product mix out of as little as 2.5 fabs in Q4 for sale in Q1 07 would be 100% dual core and at least 80% CWM. Now, one reason the product mix will be far less aggressive than that is that CWM yields are far below 75%. Another is that Intel prefers the projected product mix in Q1 07 of maybe 50% CWM and millions of 65nm and 90 nm Celeron Ds. As a consequence, a good deal of capacity sits unused. So, explain to me why it is better for Intel to withhold capacity and have a less desirable product line. I'm sure some marketing types can come up with a reason.
