Scumbria " now dependent on process enhancements to get to higher MHz" Typical design guy response. What's wrong with that? You got something against process enhancements extending the life of a perfectly good, high yielding core? Here's one for you: AMD's process s*cks so much they require a newly designed core every 1.5 years. PB

Warning: Nitpickiness to follow ... <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.> Scumbria, you're playing with statistics. That's a 25% ramp-up, not a 20% ramp-up. And besides, the 550 MHz Pentium III is just around the corner, which means Intel actually ramped-up 37.5%. And there are so many other logical fallacies behind your straight-faced statement above that I'm not even going to answer. Tenchusatsu
