hmlay - <It could simply be that in order to use notched gates Intel had to add several steps to process which is slowing output down.>

This isn't true. Adding the notch to the poly structure doesn't add any process steps. This was clearly communicated in the IEDM paper on the process presented last November.

FYI,

Hi hmaly:

Re: "It takes a long time to drill all them notches even with a Black and Decker Cordless drill in each hand."

Comment: That makes a great deal more sense in explaining the shortage than anything presented by the Intel "whipping boys".

P.S. 1.5 million "spry Athys" in Q1 could get us to your range of $0.80 to $1.00. If they ship 2.5 million Athy's in Q1, they'll surpass $1.00 eps by a wide margin...Sure do like your numbers though!
