Scumbria - Re: " The professional graphics market, which Lawrence was referring to, has quite nice margins. " Can't you read? He said "consumer price points" . Re: " Those same cheap transistors, which are used to put pointlessly large L2 caches on Intel desktop processors, can be used much more efficiently in a graphics design." Those transistors are CHEAP for Intel because of their HIGH YIELDS and HIGH VOLUMES. If they are efficiently used - why is 3DLABS slipping its new product introductions? Can't you just shove a few million transistors into the design and hope they will do something useful? Paul
