Tenchusatsu, <AMD was the one who had the rocky transition to 0.25 um,> I think there is a common confusion here. When the press (and you blindly repetiting it) says "rocky transition", it creates an image that AMD has had difficulties in launching of the new 0.25 technology. This is not true, according to known facts. AMD was almost instantly successful in 0.25 - the current store shelves are the proof. What was difficult was exactly opposite to that transition: difficult for AMD was to STAY in 0.35 and push it to the sweet market spot of 233 MHZ (at that time). This has nothing to do with "transition", and the implication you want to make about "transition to 0.18" has no grounds. <I'll let Paul reply to this statement.> Sure, what is the panorama out his garage door? Hopefully something better than "Huh?" - Ali

Tench, Regarding AMD having to prove themselves. You are of course correct. However the information here is pretty compelling IMHO. They already have a process: from MOS13 They have a brand new fab - specifically designed for Copper. They have a good competitive design to go into it. In terms of waiting for any of the tres BUFFOONS to post something of an objective response to the details here, I suspect we will have to wait for quite some time. Regards, Kash
