Re: "If Intel has qualified the PIII process for 1.7 volts in order for the PIII to reach 1 Ghz, they could also yield much higher numbers of all other high speed grades (but would have to change their data sheets)"

You can download Intel's datasheet and see for yourself what the Vcc is:

developer.intel.com

Note The 1GHz CuMine is consuming only a little over half the power of the 1GHz Athlon.

Comment: Thanks...I'm still not convinced that they can get 1000MHz to market in any meaningful quantity in the near term...Very serious architectural constraints are too obvious at the 733 MHz level for the PWeeIII as evidenced by Intel's repeated release problems since October! I await to be convinced otherwise by delivery of 1000 MHz production to the retail channel...I'll not hold my breath though!
