Maxwell, Re: "AMD would get the copper technology and the 0.18um transistor technology. In 6 months AMD should be able to copy those process and implement them in K6/K7 products." AMD in 6 months will be lucky to have the K6 at 350mhz ... Copper interconnect is just more HYPE. You need to "study" more, Maxwell ... otherwise ... Albert will be forced to "fail you" at his "School Of Fools" (SOF tm Bert). Make It So, Yousef

Maxwell, Re: "In 6 months AMD should be able to copy those process and implement them in K6/K7 products. MOT is already doing production on 0.18um." You have NO idea how long it takes to transfer and "bring up"/release a new process. AMD couldn't even transfer their .35um process from Sunnyvale to Austin successfully in 6 months ... In fact, this took abut one year until yield problems were fixed. By then, nobody wanted 233mhz K6's. Transfering a new process with new modules (like Copper damascene) will take even longer and with AMD's lack of expertise maybe twice as long. Make It So, Yousef
