Jakob said:Is AMD's process technology so much better than TSMC's? There's still no word on 65nm from AMD, while TSMC has been in volume 65nm production since May.

They're different.
TSMC tailored thiers to do certain things really good and that means its not so good at other things, and that is also true for AMD or for that matter Intel or IBM.
There are various pics floating about on the web of AMD's .65 sample chips BTW and they've already stated multiple times back in June/May that they'd started to get the equip. on line so I don't know what you're talking about when you say there has been no word on it at all... Looks to me like they're on schedule for a low volume release at the end of the year, which is what they've said they would do during thier Tech Analyst Day in June.
