Re: The company has built functional static RAMs and microprocessors using this technology.... That was 5 months ago - so where's the flood of chips? Hmmm.... Is there ever a step between building test wafers and shipping CPUs in volume? :-) Dan PS - this was the timeline for the company that Intel is copying: Q1/99 Tooling start for copper Q2/99 Planned start of first copper batches Q4/99 Planned series production of AMD K7 http://www.pap-philips.de/english/news/amd-fab30.htm AMD Samples Athlon With Copper Interconnects (04/05/00) techweb.com Significant volume is sort of a subjective call, so I'll leave that open. OTOH, it's a lot easier to copy someone else's pioneering work, so I'd expect things to progress more quickly for Intel. Dan
