<< maybe true but in the last those giant surprises were of negative kind. Positive surprises would be good and it also creates an image of a conservative company (as opposed to aggressive) which is liked by investors and analysts as well. >> Not true, analysts don't like big surprises period. They want to know what's going on so they can look good. They like repeated mild upside, and safe, steady growth. As for being more conservative, planning a smooth ramp with a new chip every 5-6 weeks to 1.5 ghz is a lot more conservative then what you suggest. (having only a 1.2 this year and still somehow releasing a 1.5 in Q1)
