Where have you been.... Intel got out of DRAMS because they could not
compete with more efficient manufactures and were not willing to keep
up with cost of developing efficient low cost processes. With the
monopoly they have had in uP they have fallen behind in manufacturing
and process developement. All of large DRAM vendors are at or below .2um in volume, and IBM, LSI are ahead of Intel in .18um logic with 5
levels of metal using copper and soon to be low K dielectric's. AMD is
almost ready to go with a .18um copper process and TSMC is at about the same place in there process technology. So really the question is
what large semiconductor companies are not ahead of Intel.
