re:They ain't copying no Athlon.
VIA's stance is that they have a right to use the P4 bus any way they wish. I don't believe they have taken the same stance with respect to socket-A

Tony, according to the roadmaps at MPF, the C5Y is set for 2003. It won't even be fully .10u, but a combination of .13u and .10u transistors from a TSMC hybrid process. They are far behind in clock speed, far behind in IPC, and they are not catching up any time soon. Just about the only advantage they still have is their extremely small die and power dissipation.

Actually, they're not copying the Athlon.

For that matter, VIA is being stupid if they're projecting to use the Netburst platform. I mean, if Intel wins their suit against VIA, then VIA's entire roadmap for 2004 gets thrown into the crapper!
