Re: AMD is a leach - and Intel deals with them accordingly.

If AMD starts shipping .13 copper on SOI by the end of the year - quite an if, since I don't quite trust the good Dr. Ruiz at this point - Intel would be screwed.

SOI is worth nearly a half generation which would give AMD the equivalent of a .11 process. And at a time when they have already been in the SMP and (back in the) notebook markets for half a year.

Construction of the added on oxygen implantation facility at Dresden should be pretty much finished up by now, so Hector must have seen very encouraging first silicon that led to that announcement.

We all know how notched gates, 1.13 PIIIs, and K6-2 shrinks can sometimes not come off as planned...

But it evidently looks OK, so far.

If Intel's a half generation behind for the next year and a half, it could end up being road kill - really.

Without a decent volume of the high margin stuff to carry the rest of the corporation and pay for the $12 to $15 Billion in FABs they've been building from a year ago to a year from now, Intel could actually be in actual financial trouble.
