Scot. <Some surprising mistakes. At best, the article is poorly written.> I am not so sure that those were mistakes. One can take it other way: the guy was talking about FACTS, from investor/consumer perspective, not about paper "introductions" of non-working chipsets and boards, in insignificant quantities. Same goes for 0.25um parts: the majority of processors and systems on the market are still 0.25 Celerons and 0.25 Pentiums-2/2.5... Just check out pricewatch.com You will find out that 0.25um 600MHz parts are selling / stocked at 112 resellers, while 600-700 0.18 parts can be barely found at 23-25 locations only. This is a 4:1 ratio. It would be interesting to check the number of stocked parts; there might be additional correction to this ratio. As you mentioned, Athlons are also not made in Sunnyvale. Therefore the metaphor is apparent in the whole article. And the Intel sales are probably a good ballpark estimate. No need to pick nits as Intel employees were fast at. Regards, -Ali
