Kevin, Re: "AMD has poor process development and manufacturing control ... 350mhz by AMD won't happen." RELAX Kevin ... Did I touch your "sensitive spot" ?? Jimmy had the same comprehension problem that you are having ... Here is my reply to Jimmy when he accused me of the same thing --> Message 9210936 "Jim, Re: "I am talking about the ramp from 300 to 475 that YOU said would never happen." Sorry Jimmy ... You have this wrong. Here is what I said in regards to AMD 350mhz thru 450mhz on .25um. I believe that I was very accurate. --> Message 5152113 "Bob, Re: "AMD claims they will have 350MHz in Q3 and 400MHz in Q4. Do you think they will do this on the current process?" It could be possible to get 350mhz parts out of the existing process ... but the control could be an issue. I would recommend that AMD develop a Rev2 device/FET that would use the existing interconnect from the .25um process. This would be the sure way to get to 350mhz, 400mhz or 450mhz. This could be developed in Santa Clara, but I would prefer to see this developed at the manufacturing site (Austin). This is the only way for AMD to get "back in the game". It turns out that AMD DID have process margin issues at 400mhz and 450mhz. I was "right on" the money ... Speaking of money, people that listened to me made much more than those who listened to your HYPE. Also Jimmy, please not that I posted this back on July 12th ('98)." So you see Kevin, you need to study the Internet a little more carefully next time. <ggg> Make It So, Yousef

Kevin, Re: "Copper parts may well be available by March 31--it's going to be close. You originally posted that we wouldn't see them until DECEMBER 2000!" No Kevin, you are wrong again ... and again <ggg> Our bet for March 31st was on Copper and Low K (not SiOF) K7's being available at that time. I believe that my original prediction still stands. You seem intent on re-writing history for some reason ... I guess that is the only way for you to look like a "winner". Very sad, IMHO. Make It So, Yousef
