Jim - Re: "Obvious answer is that they will have to move to .25u?"

This is quite true - and well discussed.

AMD's problem (only one of many) is that they started yakking about the 0.25 micron process on April 2, 1997 at the K6 launch.

Slower than expected performance of the K6 and poor yields on the 0.35 micron process drove AMD's 0.25 micron to the head of the "one-fix cures-all" department. This hope was proffered up about three months ago during AMD's Q397 earnings (excuse me - LOSSES) report.

Needless to say, the 0.25 micron program has yet to solve all their problems. Maybe one day - but time waits for no one - and no process.
