Monica, that would make sense if they made enough Northwoods to completely replace willamette production. But as we all know, there are shortages of high-speed Northwoods. Wouldn't it make sense to grade most Northwoods as 2 and 2.2 Ghz and leave the lower speeds to Willamette? Mabe the binsplit curve of Nwood is not as nice as some of the 'bees here would have us believe. C -- Those shortages were in December, before...... ummmmm..... more chips became available from a new source...... (think about it). If it were still true, how come others seem to think differently? "we would have to guess that Intel's .13 micro process is extremely solid at this point. Almost all shortages that we were hearing about in December on Intel CPUs seem to be disappearing with the exception being some of the lower end P4 CPUs. Intel is reported to have four fabs cranking out .13 micron parts covering Celeron, PIII and P4 cores. Count on seeing 2.8GHz P4 and maybe 3GHz in December and remember those badboys will be fueled with dual channel DDR on a synchronized 133MHz DDR bus. I would not hold my breath on the 3GHz mark being reached this year. 2.8GHz P4s have already been spotted in Taiwan being used in mainboard R&D facilities. On The Other Hand: On the other hand we are hearing that AMD and their .13 micron technology is not coming along so easily...... hardocp.com; Semi
