Re: "Just when is this long awaited event going to take place? Dresden was supposed to come on line end of '98. Will we have to start referring to it as the MIA-Fab? You guys scoff at the claims of a problem brining up the Cu process, yet time drags on and still no Dresden. What's wrong there? With customers screaming for anything they can get their hands on Dresden is just sitting there burning money. It's a year late and counting. What's wrong there?" Thread, This is just Fud's usual trolling. AMD originally planned for Dresden to begin production in late 1999. This plan was announced before the groundbreaking and long before the switch to copper. It takes at least 3 months after beginning production wafers to ship product. They could begin production in 1999 and not ship parts until early Q2'00. Looks like they are still close to the original plan and have switched to copper to boot. Plus Dresden will be making Athlons and shipments are constrained by motherboards and the size of the high-end market. Why start shipping from Dresden before it is needed? JD
