He wasn't speaking of his personal paycheck, but the company, which does get paid with revenues, out of which they must pay their bills, leaving behind earnings.

the ongoing conversion to 90 nm on 12 inch wafers.

Yeah, *ongoing* is right. Intel seems to be having more luck adding metal layers to their old 130nm process, and delivering those parts, don't they?

chipguy - How would you quantify "the cost of
making them is much higher too" - roughly?

AMD is about to start 102 mm^2 wafers. Those must not be too much expensive comparing to Barton. If AMD is happy selling Bartons for $60 and apparently can post profit with $70 ASP, the small A64 chip with ASP around $180 must be nice to have.
