Wow! very nice to have this confirmed, Dresden is in production, shipment has started, yields are high and speed distribution is "excellent". Just when I thought the day could not get any better. We may not succumb to profit taking tomorrow after all :)

I like it,

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. has started shipping samples of its first copper-based X86 microprocessors
Ja
Wafer yields are high and stable for both Athlon processors and 4-Mbit SRAM chips based on the new process.

The process is going well, and according to plan. The [technology] qualification has been completed successfully

Sanders said AMD will introduce its Spitfire processor with on-chip cache by June, followed by its Mustang mobile processor with up to 2 Mbytes of on-chip cache
I thought Mustang was supposed to be a server ship, not mobile chip. Is this correct?

Wafer yields are high and stable for both Athlon processors and 4-Mbit SRAM chips based on the new process. Though AMD will not publically disclose the speed of the new Athlon until June, Sanders indicated in a presentation here that the company is seeing "excellent" speed results and has started shipping qualification chips to customers.

"The process is going well, and according to plan. The [technology] qualification has been completed successfully," said Sanders at a press conference, which commemorated his company's 25 years of operation in Japan. Sanders said he expects product qualification to be completed by June....


I hope someone emailed and complained to EE times re yellow journalism. Everyone knows that:

**Dresden is contaminated and closed!

**That the Germans are lazy, incompetent and always on holiday.

**That the MO copper process has never worked and in fact never existed.

**That Dresden was originally meant to produce krispy kreme doughnuts.

**That Sanders does not know what a microprocessor is used for.

** That Thunderbird and Spitfires are really miniature cars being made for the Power Ranger market.

**And that AMD will be filing bankruptcy by the end of June.

GO AMD!!!
