Re: "Yes it sure sounds that way. I wonder if they are just engineering samples or real production units. Now I am curious to know what kind of fab conversion it will take to convert Intel's fab to this. Is it already being done? Or the "coppy exact" is yet to get started. How long will the conversion take? At another part of article they only talk about SRAM's being tested on this notch process."

There is no fab conversion necessary. It's just a modified gate etch process. Same tooling. Consider it all ready done. The 1.16GHz SRAM indicates not much headroom past 1GHz. I think they will reach 1GHz with Coppermine but it will not be easy. So what can AMD do and when??? The investment world awaits.
