Milo, Re: "Availability : Samples from November 15, 2001 Volume production starting March 2002" That's excellent news - for Intel. They really will have .13u flash production before AMD starts with .17u. Intel will be two generations ahead. :-) wbmw

Ban Ban MindBlo - AMD's 0.17 micron Flash - Samples from November 15, 2001...Volume production starting March 2002 " Gee..AMD must have LIED when they released this press release stating that they were ALREADY in VOLUME PRODUCTION on this process !! And Fujitsu is saying volume production won't start for FOUR MORE MONTHS from the time of AMD's LIE !! biz.yahoo.com Monday November 5, 12:03 am Eastern Time Press Release SOURCE: AMD AMD Ramps 0.17-Micron Flash Memory Products From New Joint Venture Fab Technology and Fab Qualification, Revenue Shipments Attained in Record Time SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 5, 2001--AMD (NYSE:AMD - news) today announced that it started shipping a family of industry-leading flash memory products based on 0.17-micron process technology from its newest joint venture fab. This new technology enables reduced cost and power consumption while increasing levels of performance for target applications. Cellular phones, two-way pagers, PDAs, and automotive applications such as remote diagnostics, theft tracking, GPS navigation, and on-board voice recognition will benefit from the new flash memory devices. The products are being built in the new JV3 Fab in Aizu-Wakamatsu, Japan. The JV3 Fab was built, qualified and released to production months ahead of schedule. Groundbreaking occurred in June 2000 and volume revenue shipments commenced this quarter. The facility is owned by Fujitsu-AMD Semiconductor Limited (FASL), a joint venture between AMD and Fujitsu. ``To go from groundbreaking to volume production on 0.17-micron technology in five quarters is a tremendous achievement,'' said Walid Maghribi, AMD's senior vice president and president of the company's Memory Group. ``With this rapid move to cost-effective 0.17-micron process technology, our FASL venture is perfectly positioned to address the largest and most demanding segments of the flash memory market.'' ``Our process technology is timed to hit the `sweet spot' of the market and enables our customers to gain access to an industry-leading cost structure,'' added Maghribi. ``Ramping our advanced 0.17-micron process allows us to offer 64Mb Flash devices for $12.50 today, well below any comparable device on the market.'' AMD Flash Memory Awards AMD's Flash memory products have received numerous customer service, quality and technology awards. The most recent Flash memory awards include: Bosch's top memory supplier for 1999-2000, Cisco Systems' highest customer satisfaction recognition - the 2000 Cisco President's Award, the Nortel 2000 ``Supplier of the Year'' award, the Samsung 2000 ``Best Supplier'' award, the Volkswagen 1999 ``Leading Edge'' award and the Cisco 1999 ``Semiconductor Supplier of the Year'' award.
