Mani, re:"Those could be just samples made in small volumes." Most likely the flow is still being tweaked and qualified. The samples are likely to be the units that are used in the burn-in experiments. I think Intel often distributes this material after these tests complete. "The ramp at one of the fabs may take months. Intel must have known about this nice result for a while and perhaps higher speed grades that Intel has had plans for, for the first half of 2000, already counted on this process." This take is a likely true, but the speed is a function of need. It could take months, but then again it could only take weeks if a fire is lit under their butts. (i.e. these sorts of things can accelerate with "crash program" status). Jeff
