<Elmer, here's why Intel needs five fabs to make 100m CPU's
1. Intel's die sizes are much larger. I believe the 0.25 micron Deschutes is still 120 mm^2, about 50% larger than K6-3D>

Who said Deschutes? I didn't. I said Intel could meet the worlds demand for Pentiums with 1 fab, if your numbers are correct.

<Merced will be a very large chip because of its dual instruction set architecture.>

I think that should be 3 instruction sets. x86, HP & i64.
