RE:"Those chips will be dirt cheap to make. They will come off what will then be an older process that is fully depreciated with sky high yields and virtually no engineering support whatsoever needed. A great way to utilize old equipment and an older fab."

Unless Intel needs the FAB space for higher margin chips...

Where will 600Mhz be in 16 months...?

I doubt even e-machines will be selling 600Mhz boxes...
