Paul, Thank you for your LEVL comments.

Please let us know when you get more information on the fab situation. I bring it up because, as you know, with external dependance supplies can get expensive and unreliable. This is often the case if a customer is taking a large chunk (10% or greater) of a foundry's total output. Also it is difficult to rapidly grow if one is knocking up against installed capacity limits. Its hard to get third parties to plan right. This is a struggle for the leaders. Of course we know what a disaster it was for the likes of Cyrix!

Anyway, It would be interesting to know the situation with LEVL one silicon vendors. Perhaps this was a large part of the merger attraction to LEVL in that there is nobody better than Intel at fab growth planning logistics (and the capital to make things happen).
