Scumbria,

Why not? Smaller geometries means cheaper parts.

In the past, the primary target for the leading edge process technologies were the highest performance parts. These can recoup the investment a lot quicker than the low end parts, that can still be made on the existing (depreciated) equipment.

I wouldn't mind if Intel used up all their .13u capacity for the x-box parts. <evil grin>
