Yousef - RE: "Intel has always planned to release their .18um process 2 years after the .25um release. Remember, Intel released the .25um process in September '97 ... thus ... September '99 is a good expectation for Intel's .18um release." My question still wasn't answered. Did Intel speed up the conversion to the .18 process because they knew at 533MHz the .25 process would max out? Paul keeps saying Intel's .18 process is going to come out earlier than expected, and you say the expected is September. That leads me to believe chips built on the .18 process will come before September, IF Paul is right (he quoted a few articles that stated that, so I think he is). Also, if I go with what you say, what the article says, and against what Paul says, then that means 533 will be Intel's highest MHz chip until September, when I guess Coppermine will come out. If the K7 comes out above 500MHz like AMD has said it will, do you really think Intel will let AMD have a processor one or two speed grades above Intel? I doubt it.
