Elmer - RE: "I see you too are taking lessons from Niceguy. Say your prayers, click your heels together three times, close your eyes and maybe it'll come true." Do you not agree those Cumines make great Celerons, and that they are low MHz? "BTW the run rate is way above 1 million a week." Intel's 850/866 launch has turned out to be better than previous Cumine launches, but still not even halfway up to Intel's previous par. When will Intel reach par? Well, you gave us some insight about a month ago - "So if Intel has headroom, where're the parts? Knowing Intel, I believe they have a production stepping that produces good binsplits to 1GHz. However I think Intel will run two steppings (at least) until they have a good production history on this new highspeed stepping before they commit the whole factory system. This new version may only run at one fab until it's well characterized and understood. So volumes could be limited for a time but this should not be interpreted to mean the binsplits are poor, just that the wafer commits may be limited for this flavor. Intel is constantly improving their designs and process and I strongly believe that 1GHz is far from the top speed for CuMine. It will be very interesting to see the Vcc for the Intel 1GHz part." Message 13072401 Anyone know or know how to tell if the Cumine 850/866 are cA2 or the new cB0 stepping?
