Re: AMD ends up paying TWICE - Intel pays only once...

Errr, Paul, you're not paying attention again. 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?). These are the tools that AMD has been buying starting in the middle of last year.

Those equipment upgrades Intel is rushing to get online to produce more Coppermine chips, that are being purchased throughout this year, are those tools good for .10 generation Chips?
