Burt & Intel Investors - Intel has a Design Team re-designing the Deschutes (0.25 micron Pentium II) on the "new" 0.18 micron process. Code name for this project is CopperMine. This may be one of the first chips on this new 0.18 micron process - although Merced may tape out first. My estimate is that die size will be about 85 to 95 sq. mm. on the 0.18 micron process vs. 131 sq. mm. (non-compacted) on the 0.25 micron process. Once the process reaches Intel "historic" yield levels, Intel's die cost should be well below $20 for each CopperMine chip. The Vcc Power supply should be at 1.3 volts to 1.5 volts. This should reduce power consumption by 40% to 50% for similar devices on the current 0.25 micron process at similar frequencies. That would translate to 266 MHz notebook PCs with 4 watts of CPU power dissipation. It would also allow 333 or 350 MHz notebooks using power dissipation of today's Mobile Pentium II at 266 Mhz - about 8 or 9 watts for CPU power dissipation. At this point, late Q199 looks like the time frame that we may see this chip. Paul
