Re: And as I have already stated IT WAS NOT DESCHUTES that intel rolled out the 0.18u process with..

You are making my point for me. Dixon was the most advanced chip Intel had at the time. It was basically a deschutes with on die cache, but in some ways that was a more sophisticated chip than the just released katmai with off die L2. It was the Willamette of its day.

They most definitely did not use their best process for a 1 1/2 year old design. I would expect that whatever gets put on the .13 will be an improved coppermine, at least, but it is stunning that those scarce wafers aren't all being reserved for variations of Willamette and Itanium.

If INTC feels it has to ship a version of coppermine on .13 next fall instead of Willamette, Willamette is probably not doing as well as hoped.
