All, It seems that Intel has no choice but to quickly move to .25mu or below in order to add cache & extended functions into the processor chip for the sub $1,000 market. If they can pull it off under the Pentium II architecture, they will in a position to try to freeze ADM out of the market since ADM doesn't have access to the Pentimum II patents. Cyrix may have access to the Pentimum II patents thanks to National Semiconductor. Intel was planning to move to .25mu (or below) with the Merced (1999) but they may need it for the Pentium II in 1998. Does Cymer have a lock on Intel's business for .25mu down to .13mu???
