Kevin, Re: "Wasn't someone on this thread telling me that this always has the makings of a disaster?" Kevin, It is a recipe for "disaster" without "copy exactly". Make It So, Yousef

Kevin - Re: "Intel is bringing up a new process in a new fab in a foreign country?!?! Wasn't someone on this thread telling me that this always has the makings of a disaster?" Intel has done it before - twice. Fab 10 - Ireland - brand new 8 inch fab with a BiCMOS 0.6 micron process in 1992/1993. Fab 14 - Ireland - brand new 8 inch Fab with 0.25 micron process - January, 1998. Intel has the experience. Further, Intel has had Fab 6 in Israel since 1984/85 time frame - so they have quite a bit of experience in wafer fab operations outside of the U.S. Paul
