Re: "I think that was accurate before the B-0 stepping hit the streets. I think B-0 has moved that up significantly - maybe as high as 850MHz." Ohhh boy! here come the liar accusations!!! EP

Dear Eric: From the DIY market, a 850MHz peak might be one explanation but it is too early to tell if it does not cause a shift downward of yields overall or something that is similar to what happened to AMD in Q4-1998. That is where there were more that made it to higher speed grades but at the expense that most of the mid grades disappeared, creating a notch at 350MHz. Most of the production fell to very cheap speed grades. Such may be occurring here, because the 800MHz grade has actually seemed to shrink. A normal, gaussian, speed distribution would not cause this drop one grade down. Currently very puzzling. Well, we will know more within a month or so. Pete
