Re: "So my discussions with you going back to last summer, where you kept prognosticating 800, 866, 933, 1000...in retrospect, you don't find these encounters enlightening?"

Enlightening?? Sorry, but no. Please see:

Message 11829009

800MHz estimation was based on 1.5V and device designs of Dec 98 IEDM paper. 933MHz estimation was based on actual 1.65V release and 10% improved device design (notch process)
of Dec 99 IEDM paper. I still questioned 1GHz but agreed based on some physical analysis I saw on a 733MHz part. This seems very consistent to me and maybe rates more than just a
prognostication. I must agree with Kap on at least one point. The DETAILS do seem to elude you.

Re: "Maybe this "shill" functions at least in part to counter FUD and opinion such as yours, albeit, without divulging NDA covered material. You'll need to find other sources for that. In fact, I believe you probably tried this at least once. Just guessing, judging by a very interesting post you once made."

Now, who's spreading the FUD? Say hello to CHUCKIE for me. Tell him his old office mate retires in Feb.

Re: "BTW, I enjoy your technical contributions to the threads."

Thanks - I would enjoy yours a lot more if you shot from the hip a bit more often. You lose a toe now and then, but it makes life a lot more entertaining.
