Jim - Re: " Is Intel going to offer the Dixon as something other than a mobile module? As in desktops?"

The last word that I heard was that Dixon was targeted for Mobile applications. The premium ASPs for mobile Pentium IIs will offset the larger Dixon die cost.

Of course, Intel is always reviewing their strategy and making changes as the markets change.

Re: "The Dixon would be about 177mm2 on .25u?"

It should be a little less. A straight extrapolation from the Mendocino is not quite accurate since the "overhead" circuitry associated with an SRAM does not have to be doubled if the SRAM itself is doubled.
