ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES INC. canceled plans to appear at conferences hosted by Wall Street firms until it can offer a meaningful update on the progress of a major production transition at the company. AMD is in the midst of a switch to 0.25 micron production for its K6 processor, which competes with INTEL's Pentium II. Production is currently ramping up and solid data on chip wafer yields is still weeks away, said spokesman Scott Allen. He said AMD planned to avoid Wall Street analysts' meetings until executives could answer project-related questions. (Reuters 01:42 PM ET 02/05/98) For the full text story, see infobeat.com

Yousef, The DUV tools that I was talking about are from Nikon ... I recently purchased one of these tools for that price. Prices can vary +-20% due to discounting. It is hard to believe you are an independent consultant. Where did you get the money to buy such a cheap (in term of price when compares to Micrascan) DUV tool? Only small and start-up companies seeks advices from consultant since they probably do not have engineers (yet). Start-up companies have foundaries and do not require DUV. Why would company like Intel needs your service when it has an army of experts? It appears you are an Intel employee instead. -KL
