Is it time yet? circa 12/1997, SBN interview with Toshiba's Kawanishi: SBN -- Based on your long experience in the semiconductor industry, what do you think the future holds? Kawanishi - -Unlimited prospects. Semiconductors are the crude oil of the 21st century. But the success of individual companies isn't guaranteed. Every company has a hunting license. How well they use it determines their fortune. SBN -- What do you see as the top challenges facing the semiconductor industry for the next century? Kawanishi --First, how do we transition from 0.25-micron deep-UV lithography to 0.18-micron processing, and then move to argon fluoride 193-nanometer wavelength deep-UV below 0.18-micron? [But] this transition is already well underway and we should see production systems by the turn of the century. * Sixth, what comes after Intel?

Does AMD make "a very cheap microprocessor optimized for graphics at one-tenth the price?" ...Or does it just want to take over the largest teat of INTC's "Cash Cow?" <Hoo Hoo> 0\|0
