I am intrigued by reports that copper K6's were produced in Dresden months ago, yet AMD has no plans to market any. Even if the only benefit were a 5% reduction in power consumption or 5% increase in speed, copper K6 would seem to be a very marketable product for notebooks. Look at what Intel is doing with the Rambus < 5% benefit, for example. If process for producing Athlons in Dresden is still a half a year away, why not use a little of that capacity to produce some revenue? Is it impossible to make test runs and production runs in the same building? (not likely). Is this an indication that coppper Athlons are close to production? Dan jc-news.com 99/09/16, 8:50am - This Digitimes Taiwan article has some interesting beef about AMD, Alpha, and Motorola. KH, who found the article, neatly summarized it as such: "Digitimes Taiwan info: AMD successfully tested and produced K6-x samples at 0.25um copper in Dresden. However AMD has no plan of producing those in quantities.

stevey - Re: "And try not to worry too much about Intel today Paul. $80 may hold on support, it bounced pretty good yesterday. Have a good day Paul, ok?" Having a GREAT DAY, as usual ! Intel is uo $1 3/4 as I write this - just a few dollars off its ALL TIME HIGH - set 2 weeks ago. DO you know how FAR BELOW AMD is - from its all time high ? Hint - about $28 (DOWN about 58%) ! And that HIGH was set 16 years ago ! You got a wonderful company to be in love with, stevieboy ! Paul
