PB, <This is incorrect. K7/AMD uses local interconnect technology, Intel does not (thank Goodness). The K7 currently has six layers of interconnect counting M0 (local interconnect) on its .25 backend process. P856 (.25) has 5 layers of interconnect. P858 (.18) has 6 layers of interconnect. > Thanks for the clarification. I stand corrected and hope the point about extra layer of metal has came through inspite of the technical inaccuracy. By the way, can you comment on why you say "thnk goodness"? Chuck
