TWY, I think the first think that was done was the F stepping, which is most likely in production (probably in both fabs), it it is supposed to goon sale late Q1, early Q2. Then there was the shrink of the F Stepping for 65nm. My guess the first silicon of that is probably more likely to be DC, with QC following shortly afterwards. I am pretty sure there is a sequence to it. As people moved off F Stepping, they worked on the shrink, etc. I doubt there will be some kind of leap. E Stepping came out about 2Q after D stepping, and I guess the best we can expect for the 65nm shrink is late Q3, early Q4, 2Q after F stepping release. Joe
