Bruce - Re: "Isn't the 8" wafer a dinosaur?"

I'm not aware of any wafer fabs in production on 300 mm (~12 inch wafers).

The first 300 mm fabs should not be on stream for one or two more years.

Re: Big wafers being the future - sure, that is always the case.

But what is BIG and when is the FUTURE?
