Re: when AMD adds that next Fab - a 300 MM wafer fab - Intel will have been in production on their first 300 MM wafer fab for about 3 years

Pervert Paul -

AMD has been in production in its copper FAB for about 2 years and it didn't do much for the quarter.

300mm does absolutely nothing except, maybe, cut die cost by a few dollars (and if your wafer yield goes down even a little -vs. die yield, it doesn't even do that). Copper, even at .18, seems to have upped speeds by a bin or two, which can add $50 to a chip's selling price.

300mm is not particularly important - Intel going to .13 is very important, and so is going to copper.
