Kenneth Lee: Re: "The excess is for the X-Box introduction. One reason Intel has good yields is because they include the slow stuffs. Intel has no-ball to target the notch-gate to higher MHz without yield crashes. So they end up with tons of slow stuff, which ASShok call it a sweet (G) spot." Comment: Very accurate assessment, imho! But Mr. Sanders kyboshed that whole ruse when he raised the top-end entry bar to 850MHz which redirected market focus, at which time it became apparent to all, who were not wearing blinders, that the PWeeIII just can't cut it in the top-end! The T-Bird will have a huge, huge advantage when it comes to market in Q2! (Even with all that production at ASShok's/Intel's self-defined sweet spot of 650MHz (i.e Intel top-end production point), an all-in 650 Athy system is a much better deal from a price/performance perspective, imho!)
