Re: "I wonder if the K7 will be at 600 MHz by February of next year ?" "AMD will give another glimpse of its upcoming K7 processor in a paper...." You can be sure they will have a 600mhz foil!! EP

Paul: <<Yousef & Intel Investors - Intel will present a paper at the 1999 ISSCC on a 600MHz CPU - the Katmai !>> What's the deal? I thought Elmer claimed that Intel already demoed a 800MHz Katmai to the public. Now they go back and present a 600MHz Katmai? Is it because the 800MHz Katmai was a cryo-cooled Katmai and not feasible? Maxwell

Paul, Re: "Yousef & Intel Investors - Intel will present a paper ..." Here is a very important paper on Intel's .18um process. This will be given by Mark Bohr at IEDM next month. --> "1:35 p.m. 8.1 A High Performance 180 nm Generation, 140 nm LGate Logic Technology, M. Bohr, Intel Corporation, Hillsboro, OR A 180 nm generation logic technology has been developed with high performance 140 nm LGATE 1.3-1.5 V transistors and six layers of aluminum interconnects. The interconnects feature high aspect ratio metal lines for low resistance and SiOF for reduced capacitance. 16 Mbit SRAMs with a 5.59 mcell size have been built on this technology with excellent performance and yield." If you remember (and I'm sure you do), Intel Fellow M. Bohr gave an IEDM presentation on Intel's .25um process in Dec. '96 with volume starting in that process in Sept. '97. If history repeats, .18um will be in high volume by mid '99. Make It So, Yousef
