Shane - Re: "So - a major advancement by AMD in the use of automation is somehow presented by you as a disadvantage"

Speaking of Automation, My sources have informed me that the Wafer Fab Automation Manager in MegaFlop 25 in Austin resigned last month after AMD posted their disastrous quarterly earnings.

He left in disgust due to the p*ss poor managment decisions by AMD's upper management.

Maybe the SMIF adoption for Fab 30 - completely different from MegaFlop 25 - was one of the reasons.
