RE:"You say this like it's something unusual. In this case, it fixes errata and enables more performance (MHz). It's not "big". It's a natural progression"...

You know, you are probably right. As a matter of fact Intels whole ramp on .18u and the Coppermine probably isn't that far off schedule.
(I won't mention the DUMBUST-chipset problems)
Losing the MHz and FPU lead just magnifies the problems. I guess we know how AMD felt. Difference is that Intel is still pulling out the quarters...

PB, Those parts with the new stepping are being made right now. Any word on their progress? Will the new steeping be just at one fab until they prove the stepping as a good one and then go to all the fabs? Or has it been tested in the lab and is known to be good and is going to all fabs at once(that make .18)?

Bill
