If what you said before that it was a high bin split chip, is true, then Intel could introduce an 800MHz CuMine speed grade in October. Me think it is much more likely that they took the best chip they could find and overclocked it to the max to get to 800MHz. Kap

However, there is nothing special relative to the demo about the 800 demo chip. It was not a one of kind "ringer". > That would seem to put CuMine on 0.18 in about the same ball park as K7 in 0.25 without the benefit of speed path work. In my book, that is: Advantage, AMD. Chuck
