Yousef, <Hope this helps> Ouch, thank you very much. But some numbers in support of your "better price" theory would be much more convincing than your abstracted blurb. In particular, I find it very hard to believe that Fab25 equipment is underutilized these days ...

Yousef, <better deal on automobile prices, Hertz rental or you (Ali the technical genius)> I didn't realize that Hertz has discounts on Lexuses and BMWs:) Next time I will try to shop around Hertz for a convertible... BTW, I really disliked students with a slow learning curve like yours. I wonder how did you manage to get your Ph.D if you still discern no difference between "FET architecture" and "CPU architecture"?

Yousef, re:<Intel has been much better at fully utilizing their capacity> With five or six fabs, Intel should have capacity of 25,000 to 30,000 wafers per week (AMD's Fab 25, when fully utilized = 5K wafer/week capacity). So if Intel is getting 160 good die per wafer like Paul Engel says they are, they should be producing and selling 4 million to 4.8 million CPU's per week, or 200 to 240 million per year! Somethings fishy, wouldn't you say? Petz
