Andreas, <This could also be a big hurdle for Pentium 4. If we interpolate the given numbers to 2 GHz it would consume ca. 100 Watts, so it will need very expensive power supplys and cooling devices. > You mean extrapolate and not interpolate I guess. In any case, that's a pretty dangerous thing to do. What makes you think ther will not be a shrink before P4 gets to 2G? <Intel won't go to 0.13micron before Q3 2001, effectively stalling their P4 ramp until then.> Look for a P4 die shrink in Q1 (before 0.13) that leads to significantly higher speed grades than 1.5G. And, power reduction is the biggest reason why those speed grades would be possible. Chuck
