Elmer, >Intel will have two fabrication plants producing Pentium 4 chips using the 12 inch wafers in the first half of this year. The benefit of moving to the larger size is that Intel can produce up to 25% more chips per wafer, Alfs said. >>This will put Intel 3 years ahead of AMD in 12" production. AMD's stock answer is that they don't need 12 inch wafers because of their smaller die size. They also don't need it because of relative quantity of chips produced, but they don't say that. Tony
