Re: "SUN announced the UltraSparc III in 1997 - and PROMISED delivery in the SUMMER of 1998 !! SUN is almost TWO FULL YEARS LATE and they already had to SKIP the 0,25 micron process !!!. " What matters is how it performs when it does come out. I seem to remember Itanium being several years late and it too skipped the .25um generation. In fact, it would have been IMPOSSIBLE to build at .25um and you know it. I don't pretend to know if SUN ULTIMATELY came up with a good design or not. For Intel's sake, you better hope not. If they did, the .18um TI process is quite good and the .13um process is even better. Re: "You're out of your league." You're in a league of your own. - the bush league. THE WATSONYOUTH
