RE <<AMD will cease production of all .25mu Athlons by Oct.31, 99. and will produce all production on the .18mu. Per Sanders good die yields on .18mu have been twice as great as .25mu.>> tejek "Later in the CC Sanders said that .25 production will end at the end of Q4 and not this month. I am not sure its correct but it seems to make more sense." I took this to mean all wafer starts from Nov 1 on will be at .18um. So, it appears they must have extensive characterization of their .18um process and feel confident to move 100% to .18um. Seems strange, however,that they were only able to demo 800MHz at .18um especially after Intel had all ready done so. I mean, why sandbag at a demo when 1GHz is "right around the corner" ????
