Scumbria, Re: "Do you still believe that AMD's 0.25u process can't get to 400 MHz?" Here's what I said, Scumbria ... And this was back in July '98. --> Message 5152113 "Bob, Re: "AMD claims they will have 350MHz in Q3 and 400MHz in Q4. Do you think they will do this on the current process?" It could be possible to get 350mhz parts out of the existing process ... but the control could be an issue. I would recommend that AMD develop a Rev2 device/FET that would use the existing interconnect from the .25um process. This would be the sure way to get to 350mhz, 400mhz or 450mhz. This could be developed in Santa Clara, but I would prefer to see this developed at the manufacturing site (Austin). This is the only way for AMD to get "back in the game". I believe it was proven to be very accurate ... BTW, didn't AMD "tweak" their process to get above 400mhz ?? Make It So, Yousef
