Yea, Fab 25 must be operating at half capacity at most. The flash part isn't needed yet and the CPU half is only making Durons, I think.

Monica, re: "Deteriorating financials are most likely the reason that 200 additional workers from Fab 25 are being laid off."

From the article you posted: "Because flash memory manufacturing is less complex than processor manufacturing, AMD has said it would need fewer workers at Fab 25, the company's only remaining chip factory in Austin."
