>The speculation I made back then does still hold - If Hammer is a huge success, AMD has access to a partially completed new FAB in Oregon that was designed to start production at .13 on 300mm wafers. They could ramp Gresham a lot sooner than the planned AU FAB, it Hammer did spectacularly well (meaning AMD could afford it).< I can find no indication that the Gresham fab can easily be converted over to processor production. The Gresham fab was intended for Flash production, and Flash fabs typically have only a fraction of the cleanroom space of processor fabs. Sure Gresham could probably be used to produce processors, but the limited cleanroom space would probably mean that only about of a third of the floor space could be equipped if this were done.
