PB, Re:" I believe Intel has one of the worlds only running .18 processes at the moment. Due to the recent announcement about Coppermine delay, I expect to be a sitting duck target. Of course, I will probably just have to take it, as I won't be able to provide any more detail than Intel press releases. Which is frustrating. Particularly the correlation between the Dixon QS and the Coppermine. There are leaps in logic going on here that ostensibly seem plausible, but in fact are not entirely accurate. Anyway, fire when ready. I've got my flak jacket on." I think that a 2 month delay is no big deal frankly. In fact they should cut their lossess and push it to Jan 2000. As a november release will probably screw up the christmas sales. Anyway can you shed some light on wether Intel uses a dual gate oxide process on its 0.18 micron process. Youseless the process expert has poopooed this as even a remote possibility on the AMD thread. Regards, Kash Johal.

<I've got my flak jacket on.> To the contrary. I believe that this delay makes Intel process develop seem more human. Rumors to the contrary it is not possible to dictate the future of something as aggressively scheduled as semiconductor process development. Far from a straight or exponential technology development really proceeds with spurts forward and backwards. Intel still is the center of world class semiconductor process technology (possibly with shared with IBM). They just revealed it is possible for the even the best to have delays.

PB, re:CMPnet article clarification Will the PIII-500 mobile still be on the 0.18µ process? What, in the article at 204.247.196.14, do you consider to be a "leap of logic?" I don't think the PII price cuts are related to the 0.18 process problems, after all the PII's are more expensive to make than the PIII's, correct? (so Intel wants to get rid of them) Petz
