Fallope, Re: "At the same time the new 2.2GHz 0.13-micron Northwood P4 processor will debut. With a 30% smaller die size the new chip should be less costly for Intel to produce than predecessor 0.18-micron Merced P4s."

Well I should hope that it's cheaper than Merced. <G>

You mean P4 will still be 150mm2, even on .13?

No wonder Intel has to spend $10 on FAB space for every $1 AMD spends.

Intel spends $7,500 million on FABs per year and makes 100 million chips. AMD spends $800 million per year and makes 30 million chips. Intel's FAB costs per chip are $75, while AMD's are $27.
