muzosi, Re: Fujitsu closes fab in Oregon; drops flash-memory joint venture with AMD I don't think the title of the article is accurate. The FASL joint venture continues to operate as is. Gresham fab would have been an expansion of the joint venture. Joe

Fujitsu closes fab in Oregon; drops flash-memory joint venture with AMD Not exactly. From your link siliconstrategies.com The move does not impact a joint venture between Fujitsu and AMD in Japan. The joint venture, Fujitsu-AMD Semiconductor Ltd. (FASL), also makes flash memories.

OK, I get it. The Gresham fab was going to be added to the joint venture via a 50% purchase by AMD. AMD decided they didn't want to expand the JV at this point, so now Fujitsu will just close it. This is good. There's more than enough capacity for Flash within the industry already. Petz
