"IBM can make it for AMD in .16 um CMOS 7LM" Ohhh? Sure about that? How about "IBM can make that soon as AMD redesigns their processor for the process - soon as the yields get healthy - and soon as we get this process out of the development fab - IF (big if) IBM chooses to do all that work for AMD. - NOT LIKELY - and then it will be ready for 2002... INTC can't do that... Right - Intel will "skip" to .13 micron... Don't forget copper.... So what about copper? Intel already has "Intel Inside" as far as public hype goes. As for copper metalization - this has been around since 1972. You haven't heard about it as it has its problems and limited benefits. Besides, AMD won't do copper unless Intel does copper. That's just the way they are wired. Can't do anything except copy Intel. Jeff

Don't forget copper.... Paul E. posted an article awhile back that indicated Intel just might have the most extensive research program on the usage of copper of any of the chip companies, including IBM. Typical of Intel, they don't talk much about it, but that doesn't mean they are not working on it. Dale
