 |  Another Delay On Friday, I pointed out that AMD's 65nm fab won't be for a while. I didn't have much to say about it then because I was pretty stunned at the time. Well, now I'm less stunned. For openers, ignore the spin that it is perfectly normal for a fab to start commercial production at a process level higher than the "real" one. Yes, fabs can be refitted for process shrinks during their lifetime, but if you look at the statements AMD made about this fab from its creation to, well, the last few days, you will see tons of references to "65nm" for Fab 36, and none for "90nm." So this is another "don't mention it until the last minute" drop of the ball by AMD, have no doubt about that. Why? http://www.overclockers.com/tips00852/
