Charles, re:"The real question here is why is intel introducing a new package for 500 and 550 MHz PIIIs when AMD is getting ready to obsolete 550MHz Athlons! At what price does Intel plan to sell this stuff in Q1 and Q2 if the chip is at below K6 speed grades by the time of the introduction (February)? May be we will hear some thoughts from the Intel longs on this thread." GREAT POINTS. In addition I am somwhat surprised that they didn't test parts to speed AFTER packaging. If there was a problem they could simply remark them as higher speed grade. This story just doesn't ring true on reflection. I suspect they hiding yet another BOO BOO!!! I sure hope Barret keep his head buried where the sun don't shine in BOO BOO LAND. regards, Kash

Another weird thing on the Coppermine 500 and 550 FCPGA's. They made it sound like they aren't out yet, but thechipmerchant.com and several other vendors on pricewatch are already selling 550E FCPGA coppermines. Will they be recalled or what? EDIT: look at this page store.yahoo.com 500e and 550e coppermine flip chip cpu's for sale. If they were not in stock, they wouldn't be listed. This is much worse than a delay for Intel. I suspect e-machines has half a million of these already. Petz
