The useful part: The grand opening of the company’s Fab 30 marked the successful completion of a project which began with groundbreaking in October 1996. The state-of-the-art fab is being readied for volume production of leading-edge microprocessors for Microsoft Windows computing. Fab 30 activities are currently focused on characterization and qualification of the facility. The company expects to begin production of AMD Athlon processors featuring copper interconnect technology later in the current quarter with first revenue shipments planned for the second quarter of next year. Listed pricing shows $1, so this is not vapor sitting on a press sheet.
