PB,

<<What kind of pop do you estimate AMD to get?>
Not much initially. .18 BE will allow scaling later on though. I expect a 1 speed grade improvement. IMHO.>

You surprise me! Can you shed any details on why you think it is only going to be 1 speed grade given:

- The die size shrinks from 184 to 104 should reduce a lot of the speed paths
- The voltage will probably remain the same (unlike Katmai to CuMine change as I said earlier)
- The process will be true 0.18 compared to a hybrid 0.25
- AMD probably found a few enhancements along the way

What is wrong with this picture?
