That's why it took them more than a year to catch up to AMD's copper process, right? Hey, if you can save money by extending a technology where no one else could make it work... why not? AMD on the other hand sat down with a bowl at the trade shows "process for an orphan, gov?" and Motorola dropped their process in... That's why it takes 16 Intel FABs to produce 3 times as many chips as 4 AMD FABs (including FASL, and taking into account that FASL has quite a bit more of the FLASH market than Intel). shakes head Dan, Dan, Dan... still not doing your homework I see. Intel makes a LOT more than CPU's and flash... they make chipsets (a LOT of them instead of relying on the rest of the industry to figure out how to make their processors work), and do a LOT of embedded and communications. You might consider, also, that Infineon has been producing on 300mm wafers since some time in 1999... For sale or in development? Intel is a competitive producer with a mediocre product, great marketing and momentum as a brand that has taken years to slow - but begin to slow it has. Really... funny, Wall street says AMD lost market share last quarter...
