Milo, re: Intel's 0.18u fabs, I think most of Intel's fabs are in a constant state of flux. But I have to admit that I'm not up on the basics of manufacturing ramp-ups, ramp-downs, and transitions. You'll just have to keep grilling PB about those things. Tenchusatsu

Milo - <I thought PB said only four Fabs where @ .18u . Now there is a fifth???>You also make it sound as if the fabs are 100% .18u.. What was PB talking about these fabs being 25% .18u???> I've noticed a pattern in your posts that exhibit a certain amount of inaccuracy I am assuming due to your just coming on the thread. My posts have been consistant with the 4 fabs in Q4 with a fifth coming on line Q1. I posted this quite a while ago. Also, I NEVER SAID ALL THE FABS WERE RUNNING AT 100% capacity!!! They are ramping! They are running flat out, with capacity incrementally increasing over time. There is no was you can bring a fab online without ramping it to 100%. Any perception that you have such as your's above is from not paying attention ti what I've said PB
