GM, Interesting exerpt, sounds like its just a switch of equipment already planned/ordered from Israel to NM. >>In an effort to silence critics, Intel will divert equipment originally earmarked for the Israel fab to fab 9 where the larger wafers and tighter process geometry will yield eight times as many chips as the older technology, said Saul Zales, Intel's flash memory product marketing manager.<< They are upgrading the 6" line to an 8" line and doing a process shrink from 0.4uM to 0.25uM. Will be '99 before it is producing chips. BB
