John and Tench, a little bit more on the Emotion Engine. It's a little old but it's informative. Doug techweb.com "Joint fab Sony and Toshiba will set up a joint fab for the Emotion Engine and Sony will build another for the graphics device. The Emotion Engine fab will consist of a new 8-inch wafer line in the existing clean room of Toshiba's Ohita fab. Sony's investment will be about $420 million. The new line will fabricate the 10.5 million-transistor CPU on a 0.18-micron process, eventually shifting to 0.15 micron. Production will begin this fall, with a capacity of 10,000 wafers a month."
