fyo,

It is very hard to understand how cooled parts could be stable at 900MHz, yet production tops out at 600MHz. That sounds like too big a disparity (50%.)

Paul's "explanation" and Saturn's guess at the 0.18 CuLaterMine problem:

(for those who don't want to search the Intel thread)

Tony, on the INTC thread responded:
Please let me know if I am understanding your post (which is very detailed, frank and objective, thanks). Are you saying that the Coppermine design is coming up mysteriously slower than expected, and Intel is trying to make up the difference with process tweaks?

Paul's answer was:
Yes - Intel is doing precisely that.

Bear in mind, the Coppermine DESIGN and the Designers are actively involved to sort out what is wrong at their end, but the PTD (Portland Tech. Development) guys are being asked to "Come To The Rescue" of the "Design In Distress".
