Re: "Shouldn't SDC be working on the .18um process for the K7 ??" You'd certainly think so. The whole thing sounds a little fishy to me. It doesn't make sense because its extremely unlikely that AMD's SDC could produce the volume of .25 micron parts to supply IBM and Compaq. I would expect both companies to make sure AMD was producing .25u products at Fab 25 before they announced products--particularly Compaq, which is making such a large commitment to AMD chips. My guess is that the parts shipped are 3-6 months old, stockpiled until AMD was ready to start producing in commercial volume at Fab 25.
