Jozef, re: Willy and 0.13 I suspect that this is a new 0.13 transistor front end with 0.18 back end. This probably explains PIII moving to new transistors as well. If willy requires real full 0.13 with cu back end this is great news for AMD as capacity will be severely limited. regards, Kash

I liked this part better, Joe: "You might have noticed that instead of using the Roman numeral system, we are using the Arabic system for Pentium 4. This means we are using totally new technologies for this processor class and this technology is revolutionary," said Lopez. (http://www.newsbytes.com/pubNews/00/152628.html) And blah blah blah. We'll see. I'm sure Willy will "ship" sometime this year, probably in higher numbers than the itanic and gigamine even, for what that's worth. I'm sure there'll also be a massive set of newly engineered benchmarks to cover up the deprecation of the the x87 instruction set. Who knows, maybe Intel will somehow even come up with enough bs-ram to populate the boards at a realistic cost. Cheers, Dan.
