AMD fab ramp update
Thursday, 06 September 2007

Fab 36 is fine and dandy, based on our most recent review. Indeed, the
fab is fully converted to 65nm production but perhaps more importantly
is fully fitted out with a complete tool set.

Fab 30 could now be called Fab 38 as the first 300mm tools went in a
week ago.

Well, that's a bit of the obvious news for today.

Fab 30 could now be called Fab 38 as the first 300mm tools went in a

That's more interesting. But I thought AMD was putting off some capital
spending on Fab 38, to deal with their recent spate of uncompetiveness?
