I believe you are right about floppermine yields being high. Then there are the bins, eh? I saw my first E-machines Pentium II-550 machine today...we know E-machines doesn't pay a lot for chips...I suspect Intel has a lot of these lower grade P-IIIs to sell. Mikey D was thrilled about getting 2 fer' 1 P-III 600s for dual machines...I wonder how he will feel when he has to compete with E-machines for chips and sales? <G> Jim

Hardly Scumbria. You would not be seeing 1,000,000 good die per week from a single fab with poor yields. Perhaps you misspoke again and meant binsplit? You'd still be wrong but at least it would be a better guess. EP, yields, binsplits....this is getting really old. Intel could not keep up with demand at the lower speeds, so how do you expect them to keep up at the 1 G level? Or do you expect yields to double at that level? ted
