Scumbria Could you explain the last sentence of the below paragraph? Why do you get mobile processors before you get desktop ones during the "tweaking" of the process? Aren't mobile processors run at a lower voltage generally? Did I ask those questions right? Link from here... theregister.co.uk The .18 micron Coppermine process is a different kettle of fish. At the Intel Developer Forum earlier this year, Pat Gelsinger, another senior VP at Intel, made it clear that the company would be moving to a .18 micron process as quickly as possible. By February of next year, Gelsinger estimated that three or four of its fabs would have made the move. It is a tricky matter moving from .25 micron to .18 and you can't do it all in one go. Intel certainly managed to keep to its promise and introduced its first .18 micron mobile processor last week. And Gelsinger at IDF noted that such technology switches always meant mobile processors would arrive before desktop processors. Thanks in advance.. Scheb
