Today's idiocy from the fields of Santa "Claus" Clara: Arguing that Texas Instruments Inc. (TI, Dallas) has made a decision “to get off the technology treadmill and go fabless,” Hutcheson said TI will come to regret its decision to rely more heavily on foundries, given the foundries’ problems in staying at the leading edge. “Some view [TI’s decision] as the beginning of the trend to go fabless; I believe that it’s the end. The most powerful companies shift last, not first,” Hutcheson said. Companies such as Qualcomm Inc. (San Diego) and Xilinx Inc. (San Jose) were leaders in moving to foundries. Hutcheson said foundries are now having a difficult time keeping up with leading-edge processes. “R&D costs are hammering them, and they cannot crack the <100 nm yield challenge because they lack development capabilities,” Hutcheson said. semiconductor.net Perhaps... if he ever escapes the alien invaders he's apparently been captured by... he'll come to realize that he's rapidly "processing" himself right out of that bloated pay package he calls a job. 0\|0
