Sarmad,

Re: "Dr. Ruiz's answer (quoted earlier) says it does not work well. And in fact it
turned out that it did not work well (UMC). maybe he changed his mind, or sees there
is no other quick way to get to 65 nm at this time."

AMD's JV with UMC was a disaster ... Same for many companies working with UMC.
The 65nm process at CHRT is not internally developed. It is the IBM 65nm process
transfered to CHRT in Fab7. Maybe this has already been discussed (I have been
away for awhile). It would make a lot of sense for AMD to "hook up" with
IBM for future silicon technology ... CHRT just happens to be the place where
IBM is transferring this technology.

As a historical look, CHRT has considerable experinece with process tranfers.
But I would expect that the 65nm/90nm processes from IBM will be running
on IBM "dictated" equipment set.

Make It So,
Yousef
