Steve,

On another topic, do you think Willy is the answer to 800 and above or is this P3-B2 step tweak gonna save 2Q and 3Q for *ntel?

It seems to me that Intel's strategy for PIII is to throw a huge number of wafers at the problem with very aggressive manufacturing parameters. They will obtain a reasonable number of fast parts, and hold until Willamette. The yields will stink, but it will keep Intel from losing all their business accounts to AMD.

I don't see Willamette being very interesting this year. It still has months of compatibility testing, debug, characterization, etc. ahead of it.
