Paul, re: "Thus, they are 75% or more DEPRECIATED!"

Paul, how do you depreciate a fab?

If you use straight line depreciation, the depreciation "expense" for producing those .35u SRAMs will be the same as it was when .35u was state of the art and the fab/line was producing CPUs.

Re: "AMD, on the other hand, has to obsolete a lot of their 0.35 micron equipment since they have nothing else to run on it!"

AMD isn't obsoleting anything. I'm amazed you'd even post this kind of drivel.
