Watsonyouth, re:"940Mhz with 12.5% distribution" You seem to be way off. Where do you think the current stepping and distribution. I have assumed 650Mhz with +/- 30% is where they are yielding now. Then they have to bin them into speed bins. Perhaps we have a terminology issue here. My expectation is that with next stepping we may well see a 100Mhz bump to 750. This would mean part numbers running from 600Mhz to 900Mhz or so. Athlons are ALREADY yielding majority of well over 750Mhz. Copper and the new dresden transistors process should shift that to 1Ghz in my book as LOW end. I am looking for a 10% bump due to process and another 10% due to Cu. What am i missing. regards, kash

TWY, <new Intel stepping will be centered around 940MHz. .. there would be at least some shippable 933MHz parts.> It looks like we have some terminological difficulties over here. If the distribution (as it is widely defined and understood) is "centered around 940", this would imply some parts are above 940, and some below, right? How would it come that the 933 parts will be still in "some" shippability according to you? Please clarify. Thanks, - Ali
