Maxwell,

Re: "In 6 months AMD should be able to copy those process and implement
them in K6/K7 products. MOT is already doing production on 0.18um."

You have NO idea how long it takes to transfer and "bring up"/release
a new process. AMD couldn't even transfer their .35um process from
Sunnyvale to Austin successfully in 6 months ... In fact, this took abut
one year until yield problems were fixed. By then, nobody wanted 233mhz K6's.

Transfering a new process with new modules (like Copper damascene) will take
even longer and with AMD's lack of expertise maybe twice as long.

Make It So,
Yousef
