Kap - Re: Mot's Process All I know is what has been posted here in various forms. I don't know if you remember (or even saw) the links to an article discussing Copper yields in general. The article claimed that everyone 'except IBM and possibly Moto' (I believe that's the way it was formulated) had very poor yields. All in all, Moto have been extremely tight-lipped about their process (much more so than IBM). Other than that, all we have is a comment from AMD that copper wouldn't be a problem with regards to yields. --fyodor

Re. "Dresden is emerging as a make or break issue for AMD. I know that AMD is adapting Motorola's Cu process. What do you hear about Motorola's yields and speeds? How different is IBM's Cu process? Can they help?" Motorola is over ONE YEAR late delivering G4 (.18um copper process) to APPLE. What would you conclude?? THE WATSONYOUTH
