Re. <Performance of this 390 iteration was a major upside surprise.> Oh really. What would you expect with a more advanced groundrule generation, a better device design, and an advanced Cu BEOL? The next iteration will have even higher performance and they will both employ Cu BEOL.IBM has benefited much more from the Cu hype than from its actual performance advantage. So, it will be an advantage for AMD to have .18um Cu BEOL, but not nearly large enough change the outcome. AMD wins or loses based on architectural differences, .18um process performance (Cu BEOL being a part)and timely execution. THE WATSONYOUTH
