Sarmad, re: Is it reasonable to say that AMD will not get the cost savings from 300mm during this year ?

No, AMD said that total decpreciation would start decreasing after mid-year. This is because depreciation for Fab 30 is dropping faster than depreciation for Fab 36 is rising. This is a win-win situation, with output rising and depreciation falling. End of 2006 is the "sweet spot" of the new fab cost/benefit cycle. After that, expense of converting Fab 30 to Fab 38 will start just as Fab 36 reaches its full initial capacity.
