PB that's why I had the question mark behind .18um groundrules. Thanx for your input on it. Milo

Re: That said, and in light of the speculation above, we really don't know if AMD is using .18 generation tools or .13 generation tools, if they're calling the process .15, because technically, according to SIA, there is no .15 generation. Anyway, I would suspect that the equipment set is .18 generation, but I don't know for sure. Just a WAG. EDIT: Actually, I just looked at the SIA map, and it lists 150nm gates in the .18 process generation. In the mid quarter conference call, AMD claimed 120nm gates for its .18 Aluminum, 100nm gates for its .18 copper, and said that the tools going into Dresden were good for 50 nm gates (.10 generation?).
