Thanks, that may help some. We'll have to see how things go, but unless there is a real economic slow down AMD is going to need production help if fab36 is going to have a market to fill when it comes online.

I would also be willing to bet that IBM isn't going to be too happy about producing chips for AMD for just 1 year. So I would expect that will be another factor in determining what design rules AMD brings fab36 up under and how fast fab36 ramps.
