Mani,

re: "Willamette die size and no way to 2M units"

I have no idea how big willy is.

But lets assume its around 180-200mm2.

Remember this is not much bigger than the old Celeron's at 0.25 micron!!!

And Intel will have TONS of 0.18 capacity in Q4.

Even at 50 DPW and I expect they will yield MUCH higher than that 2M units requires only 40K wafers.

Even with the botched cumine launch they shipped 2M units in Q4 last year.

regards,

Kash

<I would be shocked if they did even half that.>

Well that would mean you are counting on Intel to screw up again. The odds might be in your favor but does not sound like a safe bet to me.
