Re: "Do you know the lead time for chipset production? I hope it isn't 10 weeks like cpu production..." What makes you think it would be any different? Fact is that it might be faster. If AMD's chipsets are done on gatearrays then the TPT could be a few weeks shorter. EP

Jim, <Do you know the lead time for chipset production? I hope it isn't 10 weeks like cpu production...> Almost all socketed parts have roughly the same leadtime - about 8-10 weeks. The incremental process steps in one process versus the other is typically not that significant. A streamlined flow would take about 6-8 weeks for fab, 1-2 weeks for assembly and 1-2 weeks for test and transit. I have seen things as fast as 8 weeks and as slow as 12 weeks for the same part depending on the loading at fab, packaging and test. Chuck
