Pravin - <Also, they have the great fallback position of 0.18u Al in Austin. Personally, I like their strategy, and I have voted for it with my pocket book.> I'm glad you like it. I would much rather have the option of having a fab to fall back on that runs the same process I do. 1) it makes trouble shooting problems much easier by comparing cross fab data, 2) if a fab centric problem does occur, you have back up capacity for material already in line, and 3) by monitoring cross fab statistical data, a much better resolved picture emerges about process control. If Dresden has a problem, their material sits and they are on their own tracking it down, unless they can compare to Motorola fab data, but as far as I know Motorola won't be running an AMD baseline product.
