Ternchusatsu - Re: 'My guess is that Intel will reduce the redundancy of the Dixon somewhat now that they're more comfortable with their high yields, so the die size will be less. It doesn't matter that much, though, if Dixon can be sold at a healthy premium. "

You have raised some good points - thanks for the input.

Any "significant" die size savings (beyond a few per cent) will have to come with a 0.18 micron process conversion - and that will be in the 1999 time frame.
