Re: "Intel has FOUR .18 fabs. AMD has one fab making Athlons. And FLOPPERMINE is quite a bit smaller than the .25 Athlon. So if Intel can only get 2M out Q, it would be pretty pitiful."

Cringe you are having a bad day. Intel's fabs are running at full capacity on multiple processes simultaniously. Intel does not shut down any fab, much less 4, and convert over to a new process overnight. They will soon have at least 7 (not 4) fabs up and running on .18u and you will see a flood of CuMines hitting the market. Yes those same CuMines that outperform the Athlon on virtually every single benchmark, by AMD's own published benchmarks compared to Intel's own published benchmarks.
