jlh682: Xbitlabs just posted an article explaining the current status of AMD/UMC Thanks for the tip. The relevant portion from the xbitlabs.com news post: UMC will produce microprocessors for AMD on a contract basis using 0.13 micron technology. Currently UMC utilises a numerous advanced manufacturing techniques AMD shared with them, however, by now AMD has not announced any plans for UMC to manufacture any of their SOI-based parts, hence, do not expect x86-64 processors made by UMC in the near future. Moreover, AMD’s present plans do not include collaboration with UMC on 90nm process technology (probably because 90nm process from AMD requires SOI). It seems that Athlon XP code-named Barton processors may become the first and the last advanced CPUs from AMD to be made by UMC. So AMD's grand plan is to have UMC produce all their 32 bit processors (which shouldn't be too hard, since this is non-SOI and AMD apparently "shared" the relevant tech with them), while Dresden churns out Hammers all around? -fyo
