AMD & 0.18 Micron

by Steve Gibson Aug 17, 1999 7:05am CST tags: AMD
It looks like the AMD folks will be hitting that big 0.18 micron technology jump in December of this year. A reach-around goes to the ArsTechnica guys for digging up this memo sent out by AMD to a few vendors. FYI the first run of Athlon (K7) CPUs are planned for 0.25 micron so don't sweat this delaying that chip. While on that topic check out Ace'sHardware latest Athlon update.

This memo is to announce that the K6-III/500 will not be available in our current .25 Micron process technology. We will have to go to .18 Micron to be able to offer this speed on the K6-III. This means availability is pushed out until December, 1999.
