Jeff, your post is FULL OF LIES So add the incremental increase of capital expense to your operating loss voodoo economics. if you're doing that, SUBTRACT the depreciation of $113M from the loss. No one pays depreciation. You can bet that communications group erosion largely due to wafers stolen for K6 starts. No comm parts are made in Fab 25. The cost of raw wafers is an insignificant cost of about $13M for 2.7M CPU's. With processor sales UP next quarter expect capital expense and operating loss to increase proportionally. Current production rate is nearly twice the average of the first quarter, with no increase in capital equipment. This is something called *EFFICIENCY*, something that Intel, with its seven megafabs, still has to learn. Perhaps you also didn't hear that the Sharptooth, with full speed L2 cache has only a 117mm die size, much smaller than even the cacheless Celeron, and with the performance of the Xeon. BTW, the Sharptooth is 10% smaller than was previously disclosed. Petz
