Re: "In terms of the two companies capability for manufacturing .18 CPUs, Intel has 4 big FABs and AMD has 2 of them. Intel's non "Intel-Architecture" business loses money, and AMD wasn't making any money at all when it had one FAB and no fast-as-Intel design to produce in it. Now that AMD does have a competitive CPU to produce, and 1/2 (instead of 1/4) of Intel's capacity" Your numbers are wrong Dan. Intel's large Fabs: 1. Ireland 2. Israel 3. Ocotillo Az 4. Rio Rancho NM 5. Aloha/Beaverton Or. (2 large Fabs I think) Plus a couple of other smaller Fabs in Oregon (where ProcessBoy works) and Santa Clara, which combine to equal another large one. EP
