If Intel doesn't have its scanners yet, you can forget the 6 months lead everyone claim they have. Max

Robert, from your link: Like SVG, however, other tool suppliers are also having problems in the 193-nm arena, due in part to a shortage of a lithography-lens material called calcium-fluoride This is so funny. I just love it when this kind of thing happens ;-) -fyo

This will bite Intel in the a$$ very badly. Excellent news for AMD. Quote from the article: Chip makers are able to extend the life of their existing krypton-fluoride, 248-nm lithography tools, but these older-generation systems are quickly running out of steam. While some experts believe that 248-nm tools will process devices down to 0.13-micron or so, the newer 193-nm scanners are geared to more easily deliver chips at 0.10-micron and below node. I think that AMD is using 248-nm lithography for the 130-nm Cu. Kap
