Don:
Intel reportedly having set a target of 100,000 a week before the part can be launched.

Since it is assumed that the P4 design will replace PIII Xeon guts in Dell 620 workstation series that supports 132 RDRAM devices per system. We must asssume that P4 will suck up at least 4 million RDRAM chips a month since DELL will be able to buy out all production that Intel makes until supply increases IMO.

Don,
May not be "impessive" by P3 standards, but by the numbers of your article, at 100K per week, I count 1/2 a million P4s a month just for the month of November (launch date). And I wonder how many months they've done at 70K a week (310K a month).

Those numbers are way above the numbers that the bashers have been saying that Intel P4 will be able to produce this year. I'm actually glad to hear that the numbers are that high. I thought they would be much lower than that.

Wow! That is a lot more production for launch than we have been led to believe.
