Interesting that AMD has 110nm flash working.

"Manufacturing problems are also believed to have affected memory chipmakers. Analysts say memory companies have had troubles shrinking the design features on their chips to the 110-nanometer level, leading to shortages and price jumps that are rippling through the computing supply chain."

There are a lot of differences in producing flash, dram, and processors at the 90 nm level, but AMD's success in flash is another indication that 90nm processor production is probably going well.

To understate the situation, success at 90nm is absolutely imperative for AMD to move to the next level. Even with 130 nm doing very well, on a competitive basis, having a 64b MSFT OS will make no difference if AMD can’t supply the market.
