Kevin,

G3 Computer:

G3 as you have claimed is a computer from Apple. G3 is also the name given to the automatic version of HK-91. If you don't know what I am talking about, never mind, just FYI.

If indeed G3 is built on 0.25um, the production would still not be in full capability. Remember that Apple does not fabricate silicon themselves.

I am not trying to put down IBM's process or anything. There is a reason why IBM is not dominating in the semiconductor industry. AMD's process is just like a mirror that reflects IBM's process capability, excellent in IBM's clich‚ but not suitable for AMD's. After all, IBM's process is designed for IBM's business, not AMD's.

John.
