Maversick - Re: 'we cannot imagine how Intel will steer clear of pressure on
its gross profit margin. The planned ramp of 0.13 micron
manufacturing in late 2001 and 2002 is steep, with 8 fabs
coming up on the process – we think that the result has to
be capital spending of at least $6.5 billion in 2001'

The bean counter OSHA forgot a detail - Device sizes get SMALLER on 0.13 micron process - and the die cost goes down.

Also, a large percentage of those 8 fabs (about 5 of them) are already being depreciated - and the incremental depreciation cost to upgrade them will be modest.

Shows you that even an idiot can be a Merrill Flynch analyst.

Ever wonder why Osha Joe is not a Technology Development engineer at AMD or Intel?
