Maxwell, your figure of a PhD's salary at $60K - $100K per year, which Time Traveler assumes not to include bonuses, is rather low, don't you think? Unless Intel is running their PhDs like in a sweat shop... This company TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Company) gets mentioned quite ofton. Does it have clean rooms capable of producing ICs with die size as big as K6 or P-II? Not all semiconductor companies are in trouble, just look as VTSS for example. Time Traveler Ps. Does anyone know more about the current money-raising effort by AMD through more loans and/or more stocks issued? If through stocks issued, what is the price range and how many shares?
