Buckwheat, re: Happened across some rumors on other URLs last week which indicated the yield problem might have been fixed. Info was scretchy. Don't know if it was in reference to .35u or .25u yield or both? 1. This news almost certainly applies only to the 0.35u process. I'm sure the yield (% of good devices) on the 0.25 process is still way below the 0.35 process at this point in time. 2. There were really two yield problems - not enought good processors (overall yield) and not enough 233 MHz processors (speed bin yield). I think only the speed bin yield problem is fully solved, but they're only a little over half way on the overall yield problem (according to one brokerage report), but making slow progress. If both problems were solved 2M K6's in Q4 would be a possibility, but it ain't. Petz
