Elmer - RE: "This indicates the situation is improving although there is still backlog. ... It does take a couple of months from wafer starts to customers shelves. What you are seeing today is from wafer starts back in December or so." December, huh? Just as I previously speculated. If they started in December, around when Intel announced the PIII 800 and 750 we should see a MASSIVE increase in availability of these processors because probably Intel wouldn't "release" higher MHz unless they were sure they could produce it. That combined with this - "More Than 1 MILLION Coppermine Shipped WW07" should mean we should see availability of higher MHz PIIIs VERY soon, that is, IF bin-splits are high enough to support 800MHz and a soon to be 850/866 launch. Lets see how the supply situation is when 850/866 are "released". If the above is accurate the "release" won't be as paper-like as the 800's was. I guess I should just accept the fact Intel management mis-judged demand. And that combined with the original Cumine DELAY is why the previous and current situation exists. Ay me... I had viewed Intel as close to perfect. Shows how naive I am. ;)
