Cirruslvr, >>>AMD plans 1000MHz K7 copper whopper<<<

Not sure about the wisdom of using the word whopper here. I have visions of either a Burger King sign or a Shamu whale doing a belly flop. But hey, that's my problem.

>>>Copper technology was invented by IBM Microelectronics in
cooperation with Motorola. IBM is currently helping AMD to
produce enough parts to support demand.<<<

Anyone know why Motorola/AMD haven't come forth with a technical paper on the 0.18 with copper process like Intel did on the 0.18 with boring old Aluminum?

Cringe - Re: "as first revealed by The Register when it talked to senior VP Dana Krelle at the introduction of the K6-2 in Versailles 15 months back. "

So the K6-2 is 15 months old !

I suppose the K6 must be about 3 years old !

Such attention to details !
