Yousef: <<Re: "Let's see - Motorola provides the fab process and Sun provides the design expertise." This just makes me think again ... What are those 12,000 AMD employees doing ??>> Integrating the technology together, make the product, and sell to the customers. That is a lot of work. Here is how it work: #1) AMD gets Motorola copper process. #2) AMD partners with SUNW in designing 64-bit processor. #3) Microsoft writes the codes to support AMD-SUNW CPU. #4) AMD and Motorola build large volume of the CPUs #5) CPQ, SUNW, IBM, ACER, Fujitsu, and HP use it in their system. Sound like a win-win situation to me. It is all about getting to the market first. Maxwell
