PB, re:<no change in ...ramping the product at the target speed bins and at previously committed volumes [for CuMine]>

Technically perhaps, yes. Intel only promised 7XX MHz, but everyone expected that would be 733. The 733 and 666 are a "no-go" as far as a sellable product. Despite what I have said previously, I don't think OEM's can validate using the VIA chipset before Christmas for their business customers, so the 133 MHz chips are not sellable. With 700 the max speed, AMD has a very good chance of staying one step ahead in the MHz race, with the 0.18&#181; Athlons yet to ship.

650 > 600 now
700 >> 600 Oct 4
750 > 700 at CuMine intro
