Jim, From reviewing old chats with AMD employees I remember that this was the plan for the K6-III. Paul has heard something similar. Also if the K6-III-500 and 550 run at 2.2v could this be evidence of a partial shrink. Supposedly the K6-III can make it to 600 using this shrink. Does this sound feasible? I don't know about the specific numbers, but it is generally possible to get some benefit from a new process, by simply doing a shrink of the existing design geometries. Scumbria
