<<<Making micrprocessor logic circuits, is a heck of allot harder than making DRAM. Many times, if a wafer yields poorly at end of line, we'll peel the chip back, layer by layer to determine root cause. Rarely, do we find something wrong in the cache areas, most of the time, the issue lies in the logic circuits. Logic circuits are much harder to make than DRAM Cache. Something that I believe UMC is beginning to realize also.>>
Oh my blanking Lord!! You've hit it on the head, thanks!!!
Wake up, they've been making "good stuff" for many fabless players over the years! I'm fairly certain it wasn't DRAM, son.
If they don't get it right someone on that side of the pond will do it. It's all about costs - labor, materials, the list is long, but low cost is where the chips will be.
