Kap, Go to the language translation link babelfish.altavista.digital.com and put in the German URL, and yahooooo, you get the following, First copper processors of AMD AMDs Dresdener factory " Fab 30 " is on successful courses. Managing director Hans Deppe could report frohgemut that the first K6-Pilot-Prozessoren ran successfully with copper Interconnects from the batch. Over the yield there are no predicates, but in Dresden one is confidently, already against year end copper Athlons " bakes " to be able, which possibly exceed 1 GHz clock. Thus one became the competitor Intel enteilen of far. The 1.7 billion Marks expensive Fab 30 with large financial support of the EU, the federation and the country Saxonia was rammed in scarcely two years from the Saxonian soil. In February those began in the meantime 850 coworkers with the first (copperless) wafer starts. Up to the full operation end of next yearly one wants doubling the number of employees still to more than. (as/ c't) Richard

Kal Kan - Re: "Can someone provide a full translation?" Copper K7's from Dresden are now due in "the first HALF" of year 2000 ! Paul

Yet another precision translation: AMDs Dresdener Werk "Fab 30" ist auf Erfolgskurs. Geschäftsführer Hans Deppe konnte frohgemut vermelden, daß die ersten K6-Pilot-Prozessoren mit Kupfer-Interconnects erfolgreich vom Stapel gelaufen sind. Über die Ausbeute gibt es zwar keine Aussagen, aber in Dresden ist man zuversichtlich, bereits gegen Jahresende Kupfer-Athlons "backen" zu können, die möglicherweise 1 GHz Takt überschreiten. Damit würde man dem Konkurrenten Intel weiter enteilen. AMD's Fab 30 in Dresden is drinking lots of Folgers. Workleader Johnny Depp is hopping like a green toad, as good die from the pilot process with copper interconnects have already received a good laugh from Staples. Soon the chip wars will have the megadie, as Dresden starts shipping screaming 1GHz Athlons based on copper. When Intel sees what this entails, they will use the "Damn" word. Die 1,7 Milliarden Mark teure Fab 30 wurde mit großer finanzieller Unterstützung der EU, des Bundes und des Landes Sachsen in knapp zwei Jahren aus dem sächsischen Boden gestampft. Im Februar begannen die inzwischen 850 Mitarbeiter mit den ersten (kupferlosen) Wafer-Starts. Bis zum Vollbetrieb Ende nächsten Jahres will man die Mitarbeiterzahl noch mehr als verdoppeln. Fab 30 will ship DM1.7 billion of good die and improve AMD's gross financials - those sissies [must mean Intel] will be toast. In February, wafer starts will begin at 850MHz with copper. Then this new effort will really zoom, and a man will need Doppler radar to catch this screamer. Any questions? - Tad LaFountain
