What does P4 on 0.18u, have to do with P3 on 0.18u?

You maybe are making them, but it is too bad that
higher officials forgot to inform you how many of
them end up in a dumpster :)

Slap-slap... ;)


Excuse me Mr Chen, but the question had to do with weather or not P4 was being made on 0.18u or 0.25u process, it had nothing whatsoever to do with P3 C0 stepping, or anything having to do with P3/866 at all. Please try to pay more attention in the future, and stay on topic.

Andrew Thomas of The Register recently reported that intel had ordered their Fab18 Israel to produce 1.7 GHz P4 chips:

theregister.co.uk
"Chipzilla has ordered its plant in Israel, Fab 18, to drop everything and produce 5000 Pentium 4 wafers - each containing around 200 little P4s - within six weeks."

And as you would know..... IF you had bothered to do any research, intel's Israel Fab18 opened in 1999, and started up as a 0.18u Fab:

intel.com 18
The construction of Fab 18 began in 1996 in Qiryat Gat. This new plant, which opened in 1999, will begin to manufacture processors using 0.18 micron technology.
