wbmw, seriously don't you think that having a usefull lifespan of 12 or so months for a given process size is kind of short? Isn't that minimizing the profits from any given process? C Excuse the butting in, and I May Be Mistaken, but if I'm understanding your question correctly, I don't believe that the Beemer was suggesting an end to previous processes, just because a new process is starting up. Intel is currently running several different processes in different fabs, and several of them have been happily cranking out low cost, high yielding parts for quite some time. There is also a timetable for conversion of processes, so even if a Fab is designated to receive the "new process", that transition may not happen for several years. Nothing is preventing intel from moving forward in process technology in 1 Fab, while continuing to run the "Old" (cough) Process in the current Fabs. THAT'S the advantage of having multiple Fabs! :-) Semi
