It's been posted here by Intel folks, generally as a part of "we will buy you" message. 2 are 10K wspw (or more), at least 2 are 8k wspw.
I think you're remembering things incorrectly. Why don't you go through what fabs you think are producing 0.13 micron and what you think their WSW levels are. The 0.13 micron ramp is very young, and I honestly think only one fab has any appreciable volume at this point. That should change rapidly in the next three months, however.
Yes, and the others of the 7 are .13 or .18 moving to .13. Not to mention Intel's 10 or so other FABs that are used for chipsets, com, flash, etc.
Where'd you read that Intel's 0.18 micron fabs were transitioning to 0.13 micron? I haven't seen that. The only 0.18 micron fab that converted was the D1B/F20 facility, and that's only because it was where the 0.13 micron 200mm process was developed.
I'm trying to show that the two companies have roughly similar yields - Elmers "AMD yields are disastrous" comments notwithstanding - and that if either company has an significant edge, it's probably AMD, which is pretty much inevitable since AMD's average die size is quite a bit smaller.
So you have a conclusion in mind in advance, and make up data to support it. Sounds like the Creationists... |
