Intel will produce 10X times more wafers than AMD !

OK, what does it mean? Intel's wafers are 300mm and technology used is 65nm. Does it mean Intel has 10 times more fabs than AMD. No. At best, relation is 3 times in favour of Intel. AMD expects to take this year (or the next) 33% of the processor market. In another words, against one AMD's fab only 2 Intel's fabs will effectively producing chips .
So what will happen with misterious 10X Intel's wafer advantage? Nothing. Just yet another Intel's official lie. Please note Intel inside logo on it, that should assure you. But, as Galileo said, even one right man is more worth than the thousand of wrong authorities.
