Jim,

But you have to remember, all of Intel's high-end chips are going to be server aimed at first. The slower stuff will be aimed at the consuer market. That means we can be within 2 speed grades and still sell product. Also, don't forget that process shrinks aren't the only way to increase the operating frequency of the parts... optimizing their layout can go a long way toimproving performance on the same process. This is something that NSm is apparently pretty good at.

Steve

CYRIX/NSM RULE!

Jim,
Re -- I think NSM is making a mistake dumping the PR rating unless they can get the MX within one speed grade of a Pentium II

Jeez, Jim, you should decide on one either its the PRcrap or the" Mhz sells". On one hand you say MHz sells and on the other say the above.
