Re: "Zoran, thanks very much for the comments. Initially when I saw the press release I though it was really big, and that's why I posted it. Market clearly did not think much of it. And it seems, as you say, it only sounds earth shattering for those who are not expert in this field. The comments about the PIII of higher 800 MHz shipping did really got my attention though, I still wonder what it really meant." This Intel process has the highest on current for a given off current of any process (including IBM) published to date. If Intel (even with an older design) stays competitive with AMD on a MHz basis, it will largely be on the basis of this process. I can assure you that this process has indeed caused quite a stir with "experts" in this field (and I don't mean me)_ What's most surprising to me is that it is in production NOW. I doubt if any of the other advanced stuff shown at IEDM is anywhere near manufacturing. Regarding the 800MHz shipping, my guess is that is without regard to guard band. Nearly all 733MHz parts would be over 800MHz including the guard band. THE WATSONYOUTH
