Eric: I read the links, and they do say say that flip chips are affected. Perhaps the story I posted is wrong. It did though say that the moble versions will not ba available until O ctober, which indicates that they saw other documents also. PS- aren't we supposed to see 1GHz coppermines in Q3? How come they will not be produced in the new stepping?

Re: Intel specifically states (without explanation) that there will be a limited quantity of 866/133 CPUs for validation. My take was that most of the samples will be at 933. To validate at other speed, testers should down clock the chips. The exception is a limited number of 866 samples. No other (slower or faster) sample chips will be distributed. It looks like the shrink almost but not quite made it to 1GHZ for real chips in real volumes. That's a 15% increase over where they are now, which is not too bad. We'll just have to see what AMD can ship in volume by October. Any one here think AMD can squeak past 933MHZ? :-) Dan PS - There will almost certainly be some Willamettes by October, so this is really all Coppermine needs . . . . . . to compete with Duron!
