Tenchusatsu, <<Production cost for Spitfire are close to Coppermine 128K -- this would likekly be satified if its die size is close to Cu128K>> That comment was from Petz. I was responding to his comments. You may want to go back and reread the post. <I don't know what you consider "close," but Spitfire will no doubt have a larger die size than Cumine-128.> I agree with you that Spitfire will be significantly larger. My estimate: CuMine-128 ~85mm2; Spitfire-~110. I don't think it will make a huge difference in cost though - unless the yields go through the floor. Chuck
