Scumbria - <My CPU design days may be coming back very soon! Answering your question, we always used all layers in our manufacturing test vehicles.> I would expect AMD to do the same. I think we're off on a tangent here. I don't know what WATSONYOUTH was referring to, but manufacturing test vehicles, as Scumbria called them, utilize all layers with minimum design rules exercised. To do otherwise makes no sense, unless you aren't at the point where you're ready to run full loop wafer lots yet. If Dreseden is still running short loops, something is seriously delayed. Typical Jerry when doling out info regarding fab status. Leaves a lot to speculation. BTW Scumbria, going to join Dirk's legions or what? Or are you just going to tease us? PB
