Tench, Re: Coppermine speeds Coppermine should be capable of running at 700-800 Mhz speeds this year on 0.18 micron. But it will need RAMBUS DRAMS to remotely compete with 0.18 K7's. No one is talking about the fact that Intel could be in serious jeopardy if their Rambus bet bombs this year. Apparently RDRAM even if it avilable will be 2x regular memory in cost. At hi-end systems when you start putting 512Mb or 1Gb on a system that's pretty darned expensive!!!! No-one really doubts Intels ability to produce coppermine chips but what happens if the Rambus stuff bombs. I am hearing that yields are terrible!!! Welcome your thoughts. Regards, Kash
