Profits, In my very humble opinion, Intel is counting on the 100-MHz bus or beyond to boost the performance of Covington (P-II without L2 cache). There are some clienteles just would not care what type of engines that comes with a purchased new vehicle. Thus, you have to hand it to Intel for opening up such a market while keeping on track to migrate x86 CPUs to the ever-and-better Slot I. As we have touched this subject of die size several weeks ago, die size is not everything. Have you not observed K6, with smaller die size than P-II, have lower yield? As far as your claim of 5-fold increase in 0.25um yield, do you really have inside information to Fab 25? And as you have already known that your past claims of high K6 yield really did not solidify! Thus, what makes you think the April harvest of wafers would be satisfactory? You need to elaborate on your latest claims more into details, please! John. Ps. Still driving that German sports car?
