Motorola is looking to expand Wafer production - and Dresden/FAB 30 is not a current option.

Guess what that implies ?


That Athlon production at Dresden has begun! Otherwise there would be no reason to not let Motorola use an otherwise available FAB designed to run Motorola's process.

Thanks for the great news, Paul!

So, are you saying we will be seeing 1GHZ copper parts from AMD in Q1? Isn't that a little early? You sure are optimistic about AMD!

Could mean a couple of things: Either Mot doesn't believe Fab30 is not production ready or Mot doesn't believe it can get it in the terms that they want.

What is your take? Why? Are your Dresden source(s) with AMD or Mot or some equipment guy?
