Kash,

<Intel made the strategic mistake of having 15 products - mobiles, 533/600/666/733 for 133 memory. >

There might have been three factors that Intel had to consider in making that decision.
1. They have to get rid of the product that was built before they had the speed problem.
2. They have to convert customers from Katmai to CuMines pretty fast to keep up the margins.
3. They have to have reasonable number of high bin split products for their top OEMs for Christmas.

It probably was a tough decision in Santa Clara made at Barrett level.

Chuck

Re "I find this fits the model of Intel not "lying" and PB being up front on bin splits/yields."

I think you're close to the mark. Good post.
