tejek, survivin, re:<<<Athlon is AMD's rock in the sling for its challenge of Austin. If all goes as planned, Fab 30 by the end of the year will begin yielding its primary and perhaps only product: the cutting edge, copper-based Athlon microprocessor chip, formerly known as K-7.>>> When was this article written? It seems to contradict the recent info about the copper K6-3 being the first product out of Dresden. I would be very happy to hear that the Athlon is truly the first and only product to come from Dresden. If the K6-3 is the first product out of Dresden, it would tend to confirm that there are problems with the process and AMD decided to try a "simpler" product to ramp it up. I could not find the original source for the copper K6-3-0.18 info but apparently it originated around 22-Aug. Petz
