Elmer,

RE:2 FABS

Is FAB30 running 100% now?
That's news to me. AMD was hoping for 50% by end of Q4 I think.

Cool.

"Our production ramp in Dresden is planned to reach nearly 50% capacity by the end of this year, and to reach full capacity by the end of 2001."

Scumbria, I mentioned 1 fab, not 8.

Even with just one fab achieveing 1.25mil a week that is 65 million PIIIs a year, plus whatever the other fabs produce. Can Intel really sell (or even produce) hundreds of millions of PIIIs per year? How many fabs (counting half of a fab's production as .5 fabs ect.) does Intel have making copermines?

Elmer,

Here is a comment you made this morning:
"AMD yields suck".

Your clever remark came about 6 hours prior to this press release from AMD:
"The bottom line on the news today is that we are seeing outstanding frequency distribution on our processors, and we can manufacture high volumes of the higher-frequency processors," said a spokesman for AMD, Sunnyvale, Calif"

techweb.com

As usual, your FUD is baseless. I admire your persistence however.

Scumbria

P.S. I'll save you the next round of FUD by stating "The AMD press release talked about speed distribution, but said nothing about yield."
