RE: <By the time Intel gets to 0.13 (2001 or later) I am not sure how relevant Timna will be. If Timna doesn't get volume by next Christmas it may not be of consequence. And if Timna doesn't come in force for yr 2000, then what will drive the Rambus memory volumes?> Of course when Timna gets to 0.13u it will be much faster than it is now. During 2001 I guess that Willamette will finally be in production and setting the standard for Intel's highend. Won't 0.13u Timna then replace Celeron? Don't forget that two directly connected rambus channels will be a performance boost since latency improves due to no chip set in the way. As for the year 2000 I suppose that rambus volume will be driven by Camino systems and by graphics chips along with various non-PC design wins like PlayStation II. Do you have some bet on with someone or why are you so concerned about year 2000?
