PB, "These are competing technologies, that are not redundant." Fab 30 has been designed from the ground up for Cu. For AMD to bring up a Cu process at Fab 25, it would require material changes to the facility in a way that Al to Al process transition does not. Since Intel's current Al fabs are similar to fab 25, I'm guessing that at some point Intel will have both Cu and Al processes running at the same feature size. Kevin

Re: "Kevin, Intel is transitioning to .18 on Al (and Cu, for that matter)" PB, did you mean to say Intel is now transitioning to Cu on 858? EP
