The capacity for expansion is absolutely huge. Petz, In Dresden at least, there is also a lot of vacant land around to expand the fab. ted

John: Re: "The square footage at Dresden is, I believe, 5 times as large as Fab 25, which can run at least 5,000 wafers/week. Only a small portion (<20%) of Dresden has been outfitted as cleanroom space, and they have probably only 25% filled the cleanroom space with equipment. (Someone estimated initial production at 1000 wafers/week. I saw the square footage of all AMD's fabs in the SEC version of the Annual report. The capacity for expansion is absolutely huge." Comment: What's more it looks like AMD's Dresden timing is bang on with accelerating market acceptance of its young champion Athy taking place in a burgeoning 150 million per annum microprocessor global market!
