PE , You do not seem to have much confidence in AMD's wafer processing ability . Have you seen the AMD produced video tape on FAB25 , if you haven't I suggest you E-mail AMD for a copy . I found the tape very educational , particularly the high level of automation designed into the plant . AMD received an industry award for Fab 25 as being the best wafer fabricating plant , the video shows the reasons for this award . AMD has been running cs34 .35 micron at Fab 25 since the end of 1995 So they should familiar with the process by now . Also from Advances magazine I found a comment from LAM research very interesting " that AMD's standard for high purity gas line is unequalled in the rest of the industry , according to their statement when AMD's gaslines have to negotiate a 90 degree bend , they cut the line and insert a 90 degree junction . Other customers just bend the line , this can trap moisture and ruin wafers ". Together with the knowledge that AMD has produced I believe 40+ M processors in the last 4 yrs (correct me if I am wrong) , this gives me confidence in AMD's ability to produce K6 in VOLUMES soon , Brian
