Re. <Copper - I also have respect for Paul's sources. It was not clear what was the timeframe of the copper process problem reporting. Was it May? or August? Was it continuing? Motorola is rolling with this process and delivering volume. AMD has access to Motorola help.>

Reminder #?? - Motorola's 8 Meg Cu BEOL SRAMs are in .25um (3 level metal). Motorola's just announced Cu BEOL PPC for Apple G4 is in .25um (6 level metal) and not yet generally available EVEN at Apple quantities. AMD will need to do .18um Cu BEOL Athlons (6 level metal) in millions/quarter quantities by 2nd quarter 2000.
