AMD Breaks Ground on New Chip Facility

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday November 20, 2003 @09:29PM from the brand-new-digs dept.

philthedrill writes "AMD announced that they have broken ground on Fab 36, which again will be located in Dresden, Germany. The 300 mm fab is expected to start volume production in 2006. There's more information at CBS MarketWatch." AMD will be moving from its current 200 mm wafer process, and looking to save money through the higher efficiency of the new process, as well as keep up with expected demand for their next generation processors. The MarketWatch article also contains some speculation about probable partners for AMD.

Why don't they skip to 10 foot wafers?
