AMD confirms third fab at Dresden

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. It will also build test facilities at Dresden in a separate building.

Anything that is going to further the process of getting 65nm AMD chips out of the door sounds good to me. But.. by the end of 2007? Read more at The Inquirer.
