Not exactly. The initial mix is likely to be chips for Toshiba's sensor needs and other lines not currently specified although we can guess. The transition to other chip varieties is contingent. If the throughput cost for other varieties is sufficiently high and if CMOS demand increases improving margins, then the initial mix output duration will increase. That isn't currently expected, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen. Would it have an impact on expected earnings even with the possibility of fab2 drag factored in? Probably. It's all too speculative at this point to venture a guess if, much less degree.
