"Spansion is at 65nm on 200mm and 300mm wafers. So one would think that Spansion should do at least as well as Macronix. Not sure why it doesn't."

Because, they were spending so much money on R&D to be ahead in the tech curve, and invested a lot in SP1 ( which was the wrong time to invest, when there was already an oversupply).

Now when the economy went down the toilet, spsn is stuck with a lot of debt. In my opinion we would have been in a much better shape if we did not build sp1.

Even now the company will survive, the million $ question is will the commons survive?.
