Milo, I will tell you how I think this works. D1C is a development fab developing P1260,P1262 ect. They hire DR's from MIT ect. to do this work not process guy from some fab ( also where do you think the D1b engs. went). What does happen is this. Remember Intel = CE! (copy exactly), they sponsor seeds from other sites (maybe fab 7 / 9 or 11) to come and learn exactly how the process works. Those seeds then go back to their fab (maybe 11X) and transfer this technology EXACTLY. If you know the NM Intel fabs then you know they are all on the same site, so you might take seeds from the available resources from that site. Now, do you take a seed from a Fab that is currently making money on the latest and greatest P4 (high revs.) or the flash section (fab 7 or 9)..low revs. Just my take.

Milo, you originally said, "they [Intel] do have allot of unused fabs. Intel has shifted allot of personal from Flash to CPU fabs. Flash fabs are almost vacant in some areas." Remember? And this is what your first hand knowledge tells you? Message 16414997 First, D1C is not, and was never a flash fab, at least not in the majority. D1C is one of the fabs where they manufacture on .13u. It's a development fab right now, but it is leading the way to 12 inch wafer technology. So your first hand knowledge is obviously wrong. Fab15 is the flash fab that I know of, but I assume that Intel manufactures flash in some of their other plants, too. I know people that work for fab15, and so far, the plant is far from vacant. wanna_bmw
