Re: I thought AMD said "sometime in '00"... The hints I've seen indicate dual processor December and DDR in January-Feburary. I apologize if my listing an average (and averaged optimistic) time frame was misleading. I think that the heavy lifting has been placed on your shoulders as a process team member. AMD has designed a chip for easy manufacturability that seems to do as well with 1/2 to 1/3 speed off chip level 2 cache as coppermine does with full speed on chip cache. I have no way of knowing, but given the history of Pentium II/III's cache being the limiting factor for overclocking and AMD's terrible time ramping the K6-III with on chip cache, I guess that coppermine will be a harder to ramp than Athlon. Is there logic to this? Is getting good yields at 800MHZ and above with full speed cache likely to be a challenge? Dan
