Tony, in order to cross-over .18u Pentium 4 production to .13u Pentium 4 production by the end of Q2, Intel will need to fill most of their .13u fabs with the right volume of Northwood wafer starts by April at the latest. This gives Intel at most 3 months to perfect their yields and fab output before committing those thousands of WSPW. It's slightly risky, but if successful, getting the transition completed before the middle of the year will be a big help in terms of cost cutting for the year. wbmw
