I don't have details on the C6+ except that they have had silicon for a while and the parts are testing out fine. At this point I haven't concerned myself with with their ability to produce the higher speed grades or how the bump up will occur. They have been flat out sold out for several weeks out so the big question is how fast they can ramp any parts. They are running at 0.25 um in Oregon now and that is likely to become the process they go with as they move forward. I've been told that the parts are yielding a good percentage at 266 in the 0.25 um process - as you'd expect. Some parts are said to yield at 300 Mhz but probably not a high enough percentage to make a big deal about it. Those will probably end up in their personal PCs! What IDTI has emphasized to me is that the parts are not just small (88 mm at 0.35), they use a simplified memory cell architecture and other design and process technologies and are at just 4 metal layers. Each aspect of the process flow has a multiplier effect on overall yields.
