re: I think the lines that make the end-of-life chips can't make NGMA chips.

that is a secondary consideration. The primary should be how many those "the end-of-line chips" intel can sell for profit. Obviously that if the supply exceeds the demand then the point about the lines been incapable of NGMA production is irrelevant. Intel would have to start shutting down those lines

re: And I was wanting to figure out why the NGMA ramp can't be faster.

I do not think that it is a slow ramp. There are limits even for Intel

re: The answer has to be that sufficient 65 nm capacity is not available yet.

Perhaps but it seems to me that 65nm capacity should be higher than 5%.

Sarmad - How could you possibly believe that? 65nm Pentiums and Core Duos have been out quite a while now. In volume.
