PB, re Kevin: <Maybe transition its process from .25u to .18u on schedule?>

PB: "They are. you have information that they are not?"

Kevin just forgot to add an important adjective
"successfully" to his recipe :O)

Didn't you know that the _successful_ transition
to 0.18 supposed to roughly double output of chips?

Given the fact of flat-to-3% increase in overall
output, would not this imply some _significant_
yield drop? Why would it be so?

Maybe it is our "make it so" expert-at-work?

Re: "They are. you have information that they are not?"

I think we're all familiar with the early Coppermine problems. I imagine these threw off the originally scheduled ramp and I'd be surprised if it's recovered.
