syh, Would that apply to 90 nm chips made at fab 30 ? Is current fab 30 equipment capable of making 65 nm transistors ? Or does your statement imly that 90 nm chips made at fab 36 are of a different design from same model chip made in fab 30 ? Yeah, there must be substantial differences between Fab 30 and Fab 36 process technologies. Fab 30 is in its last phase of production on 200mm wafers, so most likely, the development / improvements there are now at the minimum. The conversion is supposed to take place in 2007, after which, the production will be on the same process technology as Fab 36. Joe
