what would .13 do to capacity for AMD and Intel?

<< By the way as I have stated couple of times on this thread before, Intel has beaten AMD to 0.13. It will be interesting to see when AMD will regain process advantage once Intel starts shipping on 0.13 >>

A couple questions if you don't mind:

When do you expect both companies to ship .13 parts?

How many .13 fabs do you expect Intel to have, and are they all copper? (I had heard the problem with converting an al fab to a cu one was immense, and am curious if you know if Intel is planning to do this or whether they are just building new copper fabs instead).

Chuck,

Seems to be a pre-emptive strike by Intel. Having established a super 0.18 notched gate process, Intel lost process leadership to AMD when AMD started shipping out of Dresden. AMD would consolidate that lead this quarter with official roll-out of what I call a 0.15u process.

Is this the process to be used for Mustang core processors or something down the line?
