Kash, there IS a chip level redesign of Pentium II.
I thought there was a chip level redesign to reduce cost as well

Its called Deschutes and its supposed to be available by Feb 1 at 333 MHz and sometime April-May at 350 and 400 MHz. The latter two will use a new BX chipset which supports 100 MHz bus. All the Deschutes processors use Intel's 0.25 micron process. The "low cost P2" may be speed rejects from the 0.25 micron process (couldn't run at 333).

For more info, Intel described these chips at the microprocessor forum in October -- do a search on SI.
