Dan3 - You wrote Nice to know that a $7.5 Billion dollar investment in .13 FABs has let Intel get such high ASPs for their newest parts. Nice to know that a $7.5 Billion dollar investment in .13 FABs has let Intel crush AMD into a $100 million loss - this quarter - maybe MORE next quarter. Monica

Intel announces new chip-packaging technology cbs.marketwatch.com Stuffed pizza BBUL differs from current packaging in its stuffed-pizza approach. Currently, chips are glued onto a package that resembles a small circuit board. The electrical connections between the two parts are accomplished through a series of solder "bumps." The package then connects to the motherboard through a series of pins--the metallic posts you can see on the back of a processor. With BBUL, Intel will dig a trench into the packaging material, insert the microprocessor core, and then encase it in layers of copper and silicon, which perform the same function as the bumps. These layers will be applied through the similar, although less advanced, lithography and etching techniques used to produce the main chip. "This gives Intel a chance to use lithography tools that are much coarser than you can use with microprocessors," which let the chipmaker recycle old equipment, Brookwood said.

Dan, Re: "Re: The 1.2GHz Celeron lists for $103 Nice to know that a $7.5 Billion dollar investment in .13 FABs has let Intel get such high ASPs for their newest parts." LOL, you do realize this is a Celeron, don't you? If it were any more expensive, you'd be complaining that Intel will lose sales due to the product being outside of the reach of the consumer. Obviously, you'd condemn it either way. It's too bad that AMD doesn't have their .13u devices ready. wanna_bmw
