The workers in Austin are unemployed and the real estate market has gone from hot to cold. The [AMD] had an Athlon plant there I think. AMD used to build Athlons in their Fab 25 in Austin using aluminum interconnect. Now all Athlons (including the new Athlon 64) are manufactured at AMDs Fab 30 in Dresden, Germany using copper interconnect. Fab 25 continues to operate, producing flash memory for AMD's Spansion subsidiary. In terms of unemployed real estate in Austin, the most famous example is Intel's half-finished edifice, universally derided as an eyesore for years, which they have apparently sold to the government to be demolished and replaced by a new federal courthouse.
