Waits for Doug to point out that the absence of news is a very, very bad thing.

The 45 nm process is under development at Intel's D1D fab in Oregon. In addition, the company has announced that two high-volume fabs are under construction to manufacture chips using the 45 nm process — Fab 32 in Arizona and Fab 28 in Israel.

Wha wha what!?!?!

Won't Intel have a (larger) overcapacity issue with these additional fabs?

I mean, these two new fabs ought to be equivalent to 3 or 4 of Intel's current 300mm 65nm fabs, won't they?

"Surprisingly, Intel elected to not present details of its 45 nm technology at the International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) in December, where such milestone announcements are often made."

Were AMD to have been a no-show at IEDM, bashers would be trumpeting their "broken 45 nm process".
