Hi Thread and Duke, RE: "The semiconductor unit is Big Blue's most troubled unit, and during the first half posted a pretax loss of $1.08 billion, including about $550 million in write-downs of old machinery. Semiconductor revenue fell 35% for the six-month period from the prior year's first half, to $1.93 billion. As a result, IBM's semiconductor business turned from one of its money-spinners into a drag on earnings."

So why doesn't Intel build their chips?

Sounds like IBM could eliminate some huge costs there, that would go to their bottom-line.

RE: "People familiar with the situation say another customer will be Sony Corp., with whom IBM is designing a chip for the next-generation PlayStation. Those chips won't start production until 2004."

Oops, maybe not that low-margin thing.

Regards,
Amy J
