Re: What evidence do you have for this claim? The same set of conference calls, slide shows, press releases, and official interviews that you have seen. AMD has been communicating under the shadow of a series of investor lawsuits for nearly a year. In this period their announcements have been very careful, always conservative, and I am confident that they wouldn't make these claims unless they were absolutely confident about them. AMD has said that yields from copper at Dresden were better than at Austin on Aluminum. They have said that their .18 copper process produces 20% smaller gate lengths than their .18 Aluminum process. They have said that they were producing .13 prototypes with .05 feature size last October. They have said that some or all of Austin would be converted to flash. Their graphics showed a few percent of Dresden production scheduled to be .13 by the end of this year. These points were covered in the amd.com presentation given last November. Some of the forecasts made in that presentation have already been proven ahead of schedule. Dan
