Yousef, your power of deduction is tremendous: <This would imply that AMD is still " a generation" behind in process technology ??> AMD K7 supposed to be in 0.25um, which is BY DEFINITION a generation behind 0.18um, is not it? <...Intel's .18um technology.> Are you a copy of Time Traveler by the chance? Speaking from the future? Come on boy, give it a shot: Message 5799559 We really need a reality check from a specialist like you!

Yousef, You know better than that. The demo K7 will be on .25 um. At 1.8v it would be equal to intels .25 um process. By definition it is behind Intel's .18 um tech and also by definition its behind AMD's own .18um tech(and everybody else's for that matter). This would imply that AMD is catching up to Intel in process technology. MikeyB ps: Does anybody know why Intel has elected not to use Local Interconnect in their process?? Is it essentially just a matter of don't mess with something that works very well? Or is there a technical or legal reason?
