Ever since VaporMine introduction you sound like a broken record: It scales like mad. Yields are astronomical. Bins are incredible. Volume is awesome. Show me the money PBOY. Dell salespeople are telling everybody that they can order a 733 today, but it will ship after Jan 6th. Explain that, but save your broken record act for Intel press releases. Kap

PB, You are clearly saying that Intel is currently yielding at and ABOVE 750 MHz. Any idea on what is Intel doing with these chips? Mani

PB, <Intel is not yielding anything above 750MHz> You say this source is "ill informed, i.e., wrong?" Why is there still no 733 MHz CuLaterMine at thechipmerchant.com? Why is there no 700? There are plenty of BX motherboards that will run it just fine, even beat the Athlon 700 in a few benchmarks. Instead, Intel prefers to sell cheap PIII-500's to fill those BX motherboards. Why is that? Why is it Intel is only expected to produce less than 10% of their production in 0.18æ process this quarter? (according to leaked Intel roadmap) If the yields on this process are as good as the 0.25 process, they should be getting 50% more CPU's per wafer than on 0.25 process, just because of the smaller die size. I would expect that Intel would at least risk 10% of their wafer starts on their most profitable CPU, don't you? Based on that, there should be twice as many CropperMines in the pipeline than their roadmap indicates. Unless its yields that are half as much as for the 0.25æ process. Petz
