TWY, <You are assuming these two parts have the same channel length?? .> Yes. Why should/would it be any different? Are there any good reasons to use more conservative channel lengths on Palomino? < Note the 1.3GHz Q4 Palomino is also 1.5V. The 1.1GHz Q3 Palomino is just at a longer channel length than the 1.1GHz Q2 T bird. It should then scale higher.> I don't read it that way. I think the reason Thunderbirds are in SFF is because AMD went for backup plan after seeing the continued delays in Palomino. For that very reason, I see Thunderbird being phased out after initial SFF launch (as soon as AMD feels confident about Palomino ramp). Am I missing something? Chuck
