Jim, <OTOH, it's still unclear just when the Willy taped out and when it hit first silicon. When do you think that was? > Tapeout was early December and first silicon was first week of January. <Never the less, we're looking at Q1, 2001 availibilty of any decent quantity of P4 where as the boys from the Intel thread were looking for August.> The folks counting on August were very optimistic or clueless - anyone with CPU experience would have pegged a conservative launch at First Silicon + 1 year. <it doesn't explain wide time differential between Saturn Vs first Silicon in January and Elmer "in-fab" in December or earlier comment...> It does. December tapeout and January Silicon - the chip is fab between tapeout and silicon - no mystery there. Chuck
