Re: "Looks like it's "hats off time to Jerry Sanders". He had the foresight/insight to get Dresden going when he needed to in order to benifit from this great demand. Was AMD just lucky??? Was Intel just unlucky???"

A fab takes about 18 months to bring online. Fab30 took 3 years 8 months. I find it hard to credit Jerry for good timing. Lucky??? Unlucky??? The American commanders asked themselves that question after the battle of Midway but it turned the war. Who's to say?
