What you are saying seems to be in DIRECT CONFLICT with AMD's prior guidance... Guidance was changed, as best as I can recall, at the time of 1GHZ announcement (can someone verify this?). Previously, AMD intended to share the Dresden FAB, and use Austin for K6 variations and flash. Developments since then, primarily Intel's failure to ramp beyond 800MHZ, have let to unanticipated demand for AMD processors. Dan, This is what I know. MY understanding is that Fab 25 would eventually go to copper and 0.18 um; that Dresden was always just for Athlon parts as well as (maybe) to be shared with another product line; however Sanders, in his last public release, felt demand was so good that sharing Dresden may not be necessary. Now Scumbria is saying that Spitfire can not be coming out of Fab 25 because of its smaller die size...which I take to mean that Scumbria doesn't think AMD is converting Fab 25 to 0.18 um. I need to confirm that. ted
