AMD outlines timeline for new $3.2B fab after Phenom launch
AMD spokesman Travis Bullard said the company's plans for a new fab in New York "are on track."
"AMD has drafted an initial design review of the potential fab. We are pleased with the outcome of the process and feel that we have the right draft plans ready to go," he said.
Bullard said AMD now has two decisions to make: First, to determine the right timeline, then to initiate the project.
"AMD expects to make a decision on the timeline for this project by the end of the year," he said.
BADHARDWARE comment: After this order of moves seems that it is easier to make new big $3.2B fab then one new small but decent multicore processor design. Yes, I mean on Intel too. Even more than on AMD. So much on design complexities.
