Dr. Saeed, Re: "Then, partnership is a way out for the AMD. Don't you agree?" This isn't really a partnership ... other than ... AMD puts in money and then gets a .18um process. Of course the process they are buying is currently only on "foils" ... but ... very "pretty foils". What happens when Motorolo misses their first milestone, can AMD do anything about it ?? Please remember back to other Motorolo problems like the 68040 process/CPU. Many were "hung out to dry" on that one. What happens if Motorolo decides to get out of process development themselves ... OR ... Is Motorolo committed to developing a CPU IC process (not ASIC process) that can compete with Intel ?? As you can see Dr. Saeed, there are many questions and very few answers. Make It So, Yousef
