AMD's example of failure when pushing MHz is all the more reason for Intel's management to be extra careful, not extra careless, when pushing the MHz envelope on an existing product. The process people should know, to a gnat's eyebrow, what the yield distribution is. The product engineers should know how far the product can be SAFELY pushed. So the information must have been there, if it was asked for in the correct way. Strong managers have a way of getting the answers they want to hear from subordinates. I know that Intel is supposed to have a collegial decision making process at some levels, but I'm growing fairly sure that the go-nogo decision here was made a couple of levels higher. I know what the penalty for errors like that is in my organization. I wonder what the penalty for those kinds of dopey decisions is at Intel. Burt
