Ali, Re: "This does not imply that he cannot continue his duties as the moderator, does it?" It sure would be nice ... BTW, here is an article on the "process thingy" --> e-insite.net Is IBM's Process Technology Smooth As SiLK? "IBM is struggling with yield and material issues with its 0.13-micron process technology, creating time-to-market problems for its customers and straining longstanding relationships, say customers and industry sources." "Other industry sources—including customers and competitors—say IBM has experienced yield problems and reliability issues. And yet another competitor says IBM has been struggling with the use of SiLK as low-k dielectric material. IBM would not be the first company to have trouble with SiLK. United Micro Electronics Inc. (UMC) of Taipei, Taiwan, which has been working with IBM on process technology development, unsuccessfully tried to implement Dow Chemical's SiLK, a UMC spokesman said. UMC now plans to use a different low-k dielectric material." "The whole industry has struggled to implement low-k at 0.13 micron," an insider at yet another ASIC company told Electronic News." Hmmm ... The whole industry has struggled to implement low-k at 0.13um, I wonder who on this thread brought up this issue ??!! <ggg> Maybe this IS the reason AMD is late at .13um ... Hmmm Make It So, Yousef
