Elmer, Re: "Intel seems to be able to manufacture them. This may be an option available only to Intel." I wouldn't quite make that statement ... I believe that the HWP design employs redundancy which will allow the cache SRAM to yield at high levels without Intel's manufacturing capabilities. Yousef

Elmer, No I did not miss the point. Pauleron was HYPEING intels leadership of new era of chip design complexity. At best he worded it poorly at worst he was his usual disengenous self. By the way yielding 140 million transistors is great. By the way, the chip only runs at 360 mhz. Perhaps Yousef can comment on wether Intel is using slower fets or something for these HP chips compared to Intels own PII's. Also some SPEC numbers on the monster chip would be interesting. If it is a massive chip but it's performance sucks compared to the new Alpha's then HP's chip could be slow and expensive. Some actual facts rather than HYPE would be great. Regards, Kash
