Re: I could envision problems under these circumstances given a low level of experience. So, I don't know if Intel is using it. They have consistently balked at using it until now. If they are using it at .13um, it indicates how worried they are. Remember the claim that they would never sacrifice yields by using exotic processing. So, I would guess they are not using it. We'll find out soon enough. Watson, Well, what do you call just going to copper on .13um? Forget about anything else, I find that a sign of desperation in the first place. I applaud IBM and AMD for going to copper when the "could", not when they "had to". I think Intel will pay dearly for this dumb move by management. Remind us how long it took IBM to get some of their copper chips into shipping product? Didn't it take AMD forever to get Dresden open? Anyone that thinks Intel is going to smoothly do .13um copper in the middle of next year like Barrett states is living a pipe dream. chic
