Doing anything else with Fab 36 will delay it. The same engineers and technicians who are now focussed on 65nm would have to be 'borrowed' to get up the tactical 90nm lines in fab 36.
This is not clear at all. This assumes that everybody is always able to work to push the 65nm process forward. There will almost certainly be many steps along the way where many engineers are simply waiting.
If your right about them utilizing fab 30 completely then I would have to agree...I'm just curious as to why it would take so long to convert over from 90nm to 65nm if the equipment is the same...why couldn't they overproduce and stockpile inventory if their 90nm is competetive to intels 65nm...why have a fab idle for 1 1/2 years trying to get 65nm working?
