RE:"National's own faber plant (test wafers and such) are yeilding typically 2-3 speed grades ahead of the IBM process." Steve, If true, that is great news. Maybe National could serve as a foundry for AMD and IDT, and start making some money ;^)) Scumbria

Steve, IBM would be yielding higher speed grades as well if they were using their best process technology. One minute IBM says they are using .25u only later we find out that they are really using .30u. Tell tale sign is the core voltage of 2.5v on the PR333. It will be refreshing to see PR400 parts on a real .25u process. Jim
