AFAIK, AMD has only one fab that really produces microprocessors - Fab30 in Dresden, Germany (?). They might still use Austin, TX fab, but I thought they were only producing Flash memory now there or something. I could be wrong. Intel has a ton of fabs, all over the place. >It brings to mind the question: > What's the price of setting up 0.13 fab? I believe the cost of building a new fab with state-of-the-art tools is well over a billion dollars.
