Re: Does that mean there will be more chips per wafer?

Yes, many more per wafer. Perhaps 2x or more. A straight shrink would put Brisbane around 100-110 mm^2 instead of the current 183 mm^2. If AMD improves cache density beyond that of just the node change then sizes of 90 mm^2 or smaller are possible. That could mean a flood of cheap chips which could hinder Intel ASPs even with Core 2.
