Jim, From Aceshardware - Copper Athlons johan Saturday, October 16, 1999 (08:54 PM West-Europa zomertijd)) Very exciting news from anonymous but reliable sources in Dresden. Sources in Dresden confirmed: AMD Austin tested Dresden's first silicon, copper K7's, Friday and the results were extremely encouraging. The rumor that production of copper K7's will begin this week was probably based on this fact, but totally wrong. The exact date when actual production will ramp is not known. You must not forget that product development and process qualification is a very slow and difficult procedure. Our sources underlined that Dresden is right on track! That is pretty cool, he ? ... All we need now is more Slot A motherboards and we got, for the first time, a strong competitor for Intel in the CPU market. Copper Athlons aceshardware.com _____________ Goutama
