Dan, <How the hell a near bankrupt AMD ever managed to turn itself into a larger company than Intel (at least as far as .18 FAB capacity is concerned) is beyond me.>

If that's the conclusion you are coming to, then how can I argue with your brand of logic? Most of your assertions are based on faulty premises anyway.

Let's put it this way. AMD made about one million Athlons in Q4 (though not all were sold in the same time frame), and only a small fraction of them were 0.18u. Intel on the other hand made "millions" of Coppermines (2M? 3M? More?). Now, according to grade school math, "millions" is much greater than "a small fraction of one million." And yet you think AMD has more 0.18u fab capacity than Intel?

Maybe you meant to say that a higher percentage of AMD's capacity will be 0.18u compared to that of Intel. I'll buy that, even though Intel will always have a commanding lead in pure volumes despite the percentages.
