Re: "Did Intel ever release a 650MHz .25um product? I thought they were limited to 600MHz at .25um. Maybe I missed it??" You are correct. The .25u process topped out at 600MHz. EP

WATSONYOUTH, <<Given that about 75% of Intel's production capacity is currently at .25 and limited to 650MHZ and below, it's pretty obvious what AMD is up to.>> WATSONYOUTH: <Did Intel ever release a 650MHz .25um product? I thought they were limited to 600MHz at .25um. Maybe I missed it??> Thats the point! Why would an OEM want to build 600 MHz PIII systems when they can build a 650 MHz Athlon system for less? Petz

TWY, <I thought they were limited to 600MHz at .25um > You are right. Well over half of Intel's output this quarter will be under 600MHz several speed grades below the top of the line chip (below 800/750/733/700/667/650). That is probably a historic thing for Intel. Kind of paints a good picture on why Intel may not commit ASP suicide for the quarter) Chuck
