Hey...AMD will cut their electrical bills !

Nothing like a beginning of the year fab start-up to drive yields even lower than "normal".

Hey, I don't expect a "humble" opinion from you WRT IC processing, or process equipment or fab stuff in general. Is complete shutdown a bad idea or what? Any danger they'll lose the recipe? Gorsh I hope not.

Maybe they'll run it once each day and make some Christmas cookies along with a K6 wafer or two?
