Hi Greg how the food at Mamma Lina's Italian restaurant ?
the above URL states that Fab 25 has 6000 wafers per week capability
on .35 , you can probably factor in some reduction for .25 but not sure how much . SDC has a 1000 wafer/week on .25 . I would think that Fab25 would be at least 3x that at 3000 (being conservative).
Which would give total of 4000 wafers/week . Before someone says that SDC is a development lab only , given the CC statement that AMD intends to produce K6 beyond their apparent resources it would not make any sense that SDC would not be used for production K6s .
One unknown factor is , how many .25 K6s will have been produced and shipped in Q4 . This is an important factor since their ASP should be
appreciably higher . I am not sure of 300mm fab cost , but given the
overbuilding of FABS in other semi areas and the total potential capacity on just .25 Fabs I wonder if this is an area that chip makers have to be wary of . It is more important to go to .18 m I would think .
