PB, Thread, before this gets out of hand, Intel has assembly operations in the Phillipines, no fab. About the Intel Phillipines ASM plant discussion, some posts below about it that followed when it got over to the AMAT thread. The other guy besides me appears to work for Applied and it sounds like he's saying (his words) that they, Intel "don't seem to be betting on a flat near term future." Message 9518005 Good indication of Intel's momentum, though. techstocks.com Mark, could you elaborate on "Intel's momentum", without divulging any non-disclusure agreement stuff? Thanks, Tony techstocks.com Tony <<...elaborate on Intel's momentum...>> No NDA info needed. Just that "chipzilla" (the only decent thing I've read from UK rag) is still investing strongly. Question: when was the last time Intel had too much capacity? Seems like they've been betting on the future better than anyone else, so when they're gearing up, they don't seem to be betting on a flat near term future...

Process Boy - Re: " This article is so full fo sht I can smell it from here (Oregon)." You called that one right ! Clearly, the YUK Wretchister* is just a rumor mongeror - they NEVER bothered to check ONE LITTLE DETAIL. Re: "Intel has a fab in the Philippines but if the government minister is right, it probably means that there will be a refurb of its facilities to .18 micron technology. " ABsolute 1000% BULL SHT ! Intel has an assembly plant in Makati (Manila) and a fairlly new assembly facility in Cavite - south of Manila. Assembly, for the benefit of the YUK Wretchister* , is the collection of operations that takes COMPLETED wafers, separates the individual good die, and places them in physical "packages" where they are electrically connected to the external leads (or terminals) on the package via wire bonding or C4 flip chip bonding.
