Re: Sure, like AMD can just decide to go out and get a 0.13 micron process somewhere that's about three quarters ahead of anyone else.

Tony,

AMD uses ASM tools, and ASM started shipping its .13 capable 248nm tool set several months ago. AMD's .13 lithography process has been set for some time, they aren't satisfied with their yields because of problems during the polishing process at this point, so they have been holding back full scale production.

They might have solved the polishing problems last month, or they might still be stymied by them next year. We won't find out either way until the .13 chips start showing up.

Tony, <guy is quite clueless.>

I have to agree. Just one example:
<Hammer will be nearly 50% faster than the
Athlon clock for clock!>
This is the biggest baloney ever.
