AMD confirms third fab at Dresden - Fab 38
 

CHIP FIRM AMD confirmed earlier reports that it is to expand its Dresden microprocessor manufacturing plant. It will find $2.5 billion to re-fit and expand its existing 200 nanometre Fab 30 in Dresden. It will decrease production at the 200mm fab in the second half of 2007, and pump up the volume on 65 nanometre tech on 12-inch wafers "by the end of 2007". Essentially the existing 200 millimetre fab will be refitted and rejigged, and have its name changed to Fab 38
