Kevin - Re: "Doesn't change the fact that the CuIN2000mine is DELAYED because Intel can't yield the on chip L2 at the highest speed grades (600 MHz+ on .18u). "

True - the Coppermine introduction was delayed until November.

Also true is the fact that the 600 MHz Coppemine introduction in November WILL BE MET !

Re: "Doesn't say much for Intel's process technology, IMHO "

No it doesn't it.

But Intel found the problem, worded out a solution, VERIFIED the solution, and has already begun to implement the solution in order to meet the November launch schedule.

That DOES SAY a HELLUVA LOT about Intel's process engineers and technology.

Compare this to AMD's 1 year delay in introducing any 233 MHz K6's on 0.35 micron and their 6 month delay in getting 400 MHz K6-2's introduced in Q498 and Q199.

Kevin, <Intel can't yield the on chip L2 at the highest speed grades (600 MHz+ on .18u).>
Pardon my English, but for the next generation of
lithograpy at 0.18um, should not the 600MHz be
the LOWEST, starting frequency for a design
which seems to be comfortable with 600 at old
0.25 technology?

<Doesn't say much for Intel's process technology,>
Yousef on you, Kevin:)
