'Replacement' PCs to Dominate Holiday Sales

saw the chip as a high-end product only, likely to appeal to only an elite sliver of the population.

"It's not going to impact us," Dell's Zucker said. "It's just another product to offer the consumer."

Depending on need and opportunity, there will be a die shrink every 6 to 10 weeks until the optimal is reached (or the limits of the design for a given process). This is done to reduce die size and cost and increase speed.

Do you really believe that stuff? Do you think CPQ, DELL, etc., want to do a re-qual every 6 to 10 weeks? Do you think Intel makes changes to die every 6 to 10 weeks? Any idea what's involved?
