Re: "Among the honors received were "trend setting technology" in the hardware category from CHIP magazin, a leading European IT publication whose prestigious awards are known as the "CeBIT-Oscars." This honor was reserved for the 1.1 Gigahertz (GHz) AMD Athlon processor technology demonstration, selected from a field of more than 7,500 exhibitors demonstrating thousands of new innovations at CeBIT.

Produced at AMD's new Fab 30 in Dresden, Germany, this lightning fast demonstration CPU utilizes state-of-the-art 0.18 micron copper interconnect technology and an integrated level 2 cache running at full processor speed. AMD's Fab 30 is expected to begin shipping copper-based processors by the end of the second quarter this year.

"We are pleased with the overwhelmingly positive response we have received since the introduction of the AMD Athlon processor. The award given to AMD by CHIP magazin recognizes the benefits of our investment in the copper interconnect technology," said Rob Herb, chief marketing executive for AMD. "The technology being developed and deployed in Dresden is expected to enable us to continue to offer superior solutions for the high performance market."

Comment: Most indicative of AMD's rising star over the past 6 months...(Where was Intel's 1.5 GHz monster or for that matter its PWeeIII half dozen 800's?)
