Charles, Re:"I have a feeling, Intel is not going to give out CuMine systems to folks like Anand and Sharky because they can give an opinion Intel may not like. Intel will probably have a bunch of handpicked benchmarks that get thrown at people with a high decibel advertizing campaign. The Camino situation doesn't help. In Hollywood, for lot of high budget movies, studios market the hell out the movies instead of previewing them." First of all they only do it for real flops - in fear of bad reviews. It was pretty clear from Anands review that he hasn't seen a coppermine yet. If Intel pulls such a stunt - It would be great to see as it would be all over the net. However PB and Tench have alluded to cumine being better than anticipated. I am unsure if it means stellar CPU improvement to improve the performance per clock or wether it is related to the CPU speed scalability of the Cumine clock. I suspect it is the latter and that they are effectively gonna ship with an enhanced front end process- maybe close to a 0.15 process. In which case i suspect that we may see an 8XX )or even a 9XX) Cumine as high end as opposed to a 7XX as we all expect. Sure's gonna be a few interesting weeks. regards, Kash
