Elmer, also keep in mind that Intel now has a 75% attach rate for their chipsets, and almost all of this is currently .18u Brookdale parts. With die sizes only slightly smaller than CPUs, more than 22 million chipset parts requires quite a lot of fab capacity. Add to that Granite Bay and Springdale next year, both of which support dual channel memory and (I'm guessing) larger die sizes, and I have a feeling that Intel will have .18u production cut out for them, even after transitioning Celeron back to .13u manufacturing.
