maui dude, if I can interject, 30%, or even 26.6% faster than 1 GHz (getting to 1.266 or 1.3 GHz) is 266 or 300 more megahertz. That increase is more than double the fastest Apple Computer CPU chip, period. Same for what Sun has been shipping as their fastest server chip. Same with IBM. I think we Intel (and AMD) followers tend to get spoiled. Tony

Maui - Re: "You are estimating less than 30% gain on a new process. Do you say this because Intels .13 PIII may not be capable of going any further " Yep - the P6 core - designed in 1993/1994 with a 1995 release date - is near the end of its practical speed range - despite the 0.13 micron process. In stark contrast, the Pentium 4 architecture blazes past 1.6 GHz on the current 0.18 micron process - and it should do even better on the newer 0.13 micron Copper process. Paul
