Your logic in suggesting that Intel can easily crank out 60M CPUs per quarter is flawed. Not all of Intel's fabs are production fabs; a few are only used for development. Not all of Intel's fabs produce CPUs; in fact, several of them are dedicated toward Flash memory or chipsets. And certainly not all of Intel's fabs are operating at peak capacity, unlike AMD's Fab 25 which had to stretch to even get close to 6M per quarter. Tench, how come when its intended to intimate us with Intel's might, these fabs are capable of producing cpu's at a rate of thousands per second. However when we suggest that these fabs are capable of producing a whole sh*tload of cpus, then there are all these reasons why Intel can't produced that many cpus. Its kind of like PB's "ahead of schedule" vs "on track" scenario.....are we running into Intel doublespeak? ted
