There's another post on the WSO thread over in Germany citing an article in a daily newspaper published in Dresden on 05/24/00 (Saechsische Zeitung Dresden): [I translate that into English but quote the German original for your own verification] "Dresden. American chip maker AMD will bring Athlon CPUs built in Dresden to the market for the first time. Upon request from SZ, AMD spokesman Jens Drews said: "We will introduce on June, 5th in Dresden a new product and will further disclose an important announcement." Production is running since December in this most modern chip plant world-wide. Meanwhile final tests have been finished with surprising good results. These new microprocessors work by far faster by the use of the new copper technology. (SZ/ts)" Dresden: Chip-Premiere bei AMD am 5.Juni Dresden. Der amerikanische Halbleiterhersteller AMD wird Anfang Juni erstmals Athlon-Prozessoren aus Dresden auf den Markt bringen. Auf Anfrage der SZ sagte AMD Sprecher Jens Drews:"Wir werden am 5.Juni in Dresden ein neues Produkt vorstellen und eine weitere wichtige Ankndigung bekanntgeben" Seit Dezember l„uft die Produktion in der weltweiten modernsten Chip-Fabrik. Inzwischen wurden die letzten Tests offenbar mit berraschend guten Ergebnissen abgeschlossen. Diese Prozessoren arbeiten durch die neue Kupfertechnologieweitaus schneller.

Hans, Thanks for the update. I don't know how the German board works but it is possible that all three of those posters are the same guy. Pravin.
