Paul, And K6-2 prices continue to plummet. Does that make you feel more comfortable ? If the price war continues, consumers will wake up one day and realize that they can get a great CPU for $40. 10% higher performance will still cost $700, however. Scumbria

Paul - In Intel's annual report there is a picture of a processed wafer. There are many partial chips on it all around the edges. Why do they bother to print these chips around the edges, since they will obviously end up in the trash bin? Also, it seems that if you shifted certain rows so that they were out of alignment with the rows above and below you could squeeze in a few extra chips. Why don't they do this? Aaron

Paul Engel What the heck is behind it? Taiwan Semiconductor Chairman Expects Intel Orders, EDN Reports Taipei, June 3 (Bloomberg) -- Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. expects to win orders ''sooner or later'' from Intel Corp., the world's leading chipmaker, the Economic Daily News reported, citing TSMC chairman Morris Chang. Intel Chairman Andrew S. Grove is becoming ''interested'' in asking TSMC to produce chips under Intel's brand name, something he earlier thought was ''impossible,'' Chang told legislators. TSMC controls about 40 percent of the world's $5.4 billion foundry market. It makes customer-designed chips for clients such as Motorola Inc., which sell the chips under their own brand.
