I've been thinking about one of my two cents points in my last post - Making the .25 silicon will be cheaper and faster to build. I seem to recall enough people saying this to be true that I believe it as a fact. But why - .25 is smaller and I would have thought smaller is harder i.e. more expensive and maybe slower to build. I guess the material cost of a smaller chip would be less and maybe that's why the cost would be lower - why would it be faster to build. Has the process re-design that was developed made it faster to build. I'm hoping they can crank out at least 1 million V3's per month to capture some serious OEM market share figuring the top OEM's sell 1 million boxes per quarter. Looking into the future, I'm thinking that if set top boxes really work out - which I think will be the next killer ap for 3D interactive entertainment coupled with the internet- their production rates are going to need to support # of TV's sold type production levels. How's that for positive thinking. Joe C.
