Yousef,

On a serious "bi-partisan" note (god I feel like I'm a member of congress or something ;-) )

What does AMD's ability to ship 400Mhz CPUs on their .25 process. Surely they must have seriously tweaked it, seeing as when they brought it online they couldn't make a damn thing on it (and I'm not just talking yeild, but speed grades too).

Maybe they finally convinced Jerry NOT to smoke a cigar in the clean room ;-). Have you heard of AMD adding any new equipment to their fab.. I haven't..

Just how much can you tweak a process with today's equipment. I really have no idea the knida of tolerances modern fab equipment will allow you interms of line widths, etc?

I am eagerly awaiting you reply (now don't keel over dead ;-) )

Steve
