dan - <My guess is that you are close to echoing a conversation between Atiq Raz and Jerry Sanders prior to Raz's resignation. And you are presenting Raz's side - wait a minute, is Process Boy a screen name for Atiq Raz? :-)> LOL! But on a serious note, Raza's sudden departure does pose a lot of questions. I believe that is one reason your favorite stock has been depressed even in the face of the K7 unveiling. <How similar is the fabrication of SRAM to that of a CPU? AMD seems to think that the Motorola process will serve them - is this a reasonable assumption? Or do CPUs and SRAM require substantially different FAB processes?> They should be similar, but I would expect the logic (AMD) process to be somewhat more complex, if in nothing else process steps due to more interconnect layers, I think. True, MOT has been shipping, but I don't know their yield data, even on an anecdotal level. I remain skeptical that Cu is ready for prime time, amidst the reports I have heard over the industry rumor mill, and based on my own experience with these sorts of things. If they pull it off, I would commend the MOT/AMD teams responsible. PB
