I haven't heard this discussed too much on this thread, but AMD moving to copper significantly before INTC is a huge advantage. When INTC is going through growing pains moving to copper, AMD should be in full stride. Not to mention all of the patents that AMD should be able to get. chic, Actually its been discussed a lot and was rediculed by the Intel longs until it became apparent that Dresden's copper conversion was going well and that copper interconnects were rapidly becoming the industry standard; to whit, ALTR and XLNX are making the conversion to cu as we speak. ted

Little Chick - Re: "AMD is moving to copper as we speak, INTC has plans to in about a year (I think). With all of AMD's patents, I'd have to think that many of them are coming from Dresdan relating to copper." Are you telling US that AMD is getting PATENTS on the Copper Process that they GOT FROM MOTOROLA ?? Just how does AMD do it? Do they use Motorla's documentation and just white-out the MOTO logo and stick in the AMD logo and send in for the patent? Paul
