DDB, Re: "the fab will switch completely to 90nm at once without slowly shutting down the 130nm line and is currently also producing 130nm parts for stock to buffer demand of Bartons and Tbreds (if still in production)."

Thanks for posting working 90nm Opterons, that was new to me!

Questions with regard to the above quote: How many fabrication lines for .13 in Dresden (e.g. one or two)? What about the extra cleanroom space that's being added and from what I heard tooled too?

What AMD normally does different than Intel is they switch the bulk of their manufacturing over to a new process in one or two quarters. Intel takes a year and a half for the same switch. Is this maybe what you meant?

Kind regards,
