Petz - <How could AMD lose a month's worth of wafers, if production hasn't started yet?> Petz, well before a fab starts running actual product wafers, it should be running Engineering experimental and Baseline yield (bogus SRAM test vehicle) lots. IF a fab at this state of development were to lose this mundane to the outside world but nonetheless vital material in this manner, the effect would be devastating. I.e., the schedule slips by at least the one month amount. PB

Petz - Re: "If this story is true, I'm a little surprised that production started over a month ago. " Production ? Who said PRODUCTION ? Can you read? These could have been standard development lots - and if contaminated, they then SET BACK THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS one or two more ADDITIONAL MONTHS. Re: "If its not true, you may find the SEC breathing down your neck."
