Stockman: <<A fully depreciated Fab is more cost effective than one with new equipment. Part of the overall cost of the product includes the cost of the Fab. Thus .35u products can be cheaper than newer .25u Fab products.>> Are you nut man? You don't know what you are talking about. You get 2 to 2.5X more dice out at .25um than at .35um. The cycle time (time it takes to make) of both products are about the same. You get more revenue per die on .25um than .35um. So what if your fab is fully depreciated. The accounting NOW may not show cost saving but over the LIFE time of the fab, YOU MAKE MORE MONEY ON 0.25um parts. I suggest you go to college. There are alot of smart people there. BTW, only a fool like you would disable the L2 cache of the K6 system. Maxwell
