Although apparently the Dresden fab is particularly advanced in terms of isolating against contaminants. The chips are carried in a "pod" throughout the different processes. They may well be able to do Al and Cu on the same site. I would guess that, while Cu is a better technology, .18 Al was more attainable in the short term. We will see .18 Al out of Fab 25 at least 3 months before .18 out of Fab 30 I believe?

Dan3, Re: "Thanks for your post, that is another good reason for separate FABS." It's good to see you learning the basics about IC processing with Copper. It might be a "good idea" to understand these thoroughly before investing in AMD ... It probably would be better for you to stick to HYPE'ing AMD until then, IMHO. Make It So, Yousef
