Ten,

The slow ramp I was referring to was that PII/PIII MHz has only increased about 20% during the last year, after a rapid ramp during the previous couple of years. It looks like the design is maxxed out, and the core is now dependent on process enhancements to get to higher MHz.

Re: "Intel introduces a new clock speed for the Pentium III, and right at that moment you can expect volumes to be huge."

Like the 550 MHz PIII?
