I am not a wafer process person so I don't know the details of earogel approaches versus others. From the announcement Mot agreed to share everything in their Cu/processsing arsenal to help AMD.

I think the K7 design will be great, and hope for AMD's sake they build at a couple of back up fabs. IBM/MOT would be most likely candidates. If Jerry goes it alone again the likelihood of failure is very high IMHO.
