Re: Some of Intel's chipsets are made on a variation of their .18u process. It's a nice way to reuse those fully depreciated fabs

That would be really neat, but Intel will still be paying depreciation charges on some of their .18 FABs and .18 equipment in 2005.

2005.

Intel will still be paying.

That's the trouble with pretending you made profits by not counting half the expenses of chip production.

AMD doesn't play that game - AMD depreciates as fast as they build.

Elmer, Yes, they do need some kind of speed, but nothing like the internal speed of the CPU, so many older fabs do indeed work well in these tasks. In addition a modern fab is quite capable of doing the older, larger stuff, with better control and yields as well.
