I was hardly arguing it wasn't possible. Yes, 1 million chips per wk. was possible. And with the 3 other fabs you claimed were producing coppermines at that time,3 million chips per wk was possible. But 3 million chips /wk translates to 39 million cpu's/ quarter, which was twice the amount sold during the quarter, considering ~32.5 million cpu were sold at that time, and half were coppermine; and there was a shortage of P3 during all of 2000. So what was possible didn't happen. It's clear in retrospect that not all fabs were running at that rate. The point was that 1 fab was running at that rate and did so over an extended length of time. I stand by that statement. EP
