could this be a means to stretch out capex?

theoretically if they don't do 65nm in fab38 and don't ramp 45nm until 09 then they could stretch the capex intended to move fab30 to the "next great thing" over a longer period.

of course they lose capacity in fab30 while doing so but fab36 is doing "wonderfully."

at least it saves them buying 65nm rapidly for fab30 conversion.

dunno...

Rink - Skipping 65nm at Fab38 would help explain the claims of getting to 45nm early.
