PB, I don't know quite what you are alluding to - the only thing I was aware was Intels geyserville which allegedly will run at 600Mhz with wall power and optionally at 450 or 500 in laptop mode. If you are talking about this I fail to understand why it needs a different Poly. AMD is doing something similar I believe and is perhaps 1 quarter behind. I also don't understand the wireless statement. I was aware of bluetooth being developed by a consortium, but I usderstood this is separate from CPU. Perhaps Intels has a fully integarted chip including wireless if I understand it correctly. I suspect it will do very well. But even in laptop space Mhz sells and should be interesting to see what performance/MHZ rhese run at. Any more information you can divulge without violating NDA would help the discussion. regards, Kash

PB - RE: "Any thoughts as to how the above might tie in to discussions we've recently had regarding capacity, etc.?" If Geyserville processors have held up production of desktop processors I think Intel didn't make a right decision when allocating Q4 production. But I'm using hindsight. Who knows what Intel forecasted for Q4... Hmm, Geyserville was DELAYED from '99 to 2000. If these processors require their own "stuff" and introduction was pushed back, there is a possibility initial production didn't turn out well and valuable wafers/processors had to be thrown away. Oops, there went the extra PIII 450/500s Intel could have sold to Gateway. AMD is supposed to have their own version of Geyserville, but it isn't supposed to be as advanced. Changes are made in BIOS. But future mobile chips are supposed to be able to change within Windows, or so that one article says.
