EP, since they're totally different designs, couldn't issues come up such as high numbers of die with excessive current draw(in the case of Banias) that would render it useless? Or a different speed distribution curve that wouldn't match up adequately with what's needed? Again, this is all theoretical, I'm not saying those issues exist. Yes, I understand the equivalency in defect density, but that's not the only thing that would prevent a Banias from being marketable. BTW, I keep forgetting - what is the official name of Banias now - Pentium M? Without the wireless doodads, that is.
