This little "toy fab" is a pretty serious piece of work from a technology standpoint .... .18M with 10k wafers per month ...

Toshiba to co-develop 128-bit CPU for Sony PlayStation-II
TOKYO -- Sony Corp. and Toshiba Corp. have formed a joint venture to produce the new 128-bit CPU for the next-generation Sony PlayStation-II electronic game machine.

The new venture will set up 8-inch wafer production lines within an existing Toshiba fab at Oita, Japan. The companies said today that the line will use 0.18-micron design-rule technology. Mass production will start this fall, with a capacity of 10,000 wafers a month.

Sony unveiled the PlayStation-II this week, listing LSI Logic Inc. as supplier for the single-chip I/O processor (see March 2 story). The game player will also use Direct Rambus DRAM memory.
