Kenith, With 10 million per week Intel needs to develop alternate markets for the parts. One good idea is for fakirs in india to use as beds of nails, beds of coppermines would work.
In addition, roofing boot cleats. I realize that for the roofing boots they would need to use hardened pins, but that's OK.
They might also be good for curry combs.
Anyone else know what other uses there are for 67.5 million excess coppermines/week?(7 fabs at 10M = 70 million/week, sales= about 10m per month.
sounds about right.

Bill

Kenneth Lee:

Re: "I think Elmer is saying 10 million Coppermines per week (from a single fab)."

Comment: So he isn't confirming that they have reached the pinnacle of 10 sytems above 733 Mhz at retail? Just snowing us with a current production rate (10 million/wk/fab) that exceeds worldwide demand by a factor of 100 or more!
