AMD brings FAB36 online

Interesting that Ruiz himself says FAB36 will begin with 90nm production. Now any of you clowns who told me FAB36 would never produce a single 90nm die want to take that back? 😀

Maybe I missed out a on a couple conversations. What did they claim FAB36 would produce?

FAB36 is going to produce CPUs, of course. But it will begin with 90nm parts -- contrary to the beating I got in regard to making this claim earlier this year -- and will make the switch to 65nm later on in 2006. That's exactly what I predicted, as well.
 
It's looking to be end of 2006, so most likely in the 4th Quarter of 2006 where they begin the transition to 65nm process. Intel apparently is beginning to produce 65nm products now, with volume production in 1st Quarter 2006.

It didn't look like AMD were going to start with 65nm anyway with all the Socket M2 CPU the roadmap has listed being on 90nm, Windsor, Orleans, Manilla.
 
meh. Not so good as we expected, but still, its nice that they'll be able to ramp up prodcution. 100 million CPU's a year is what that thing can produce. now maybe they can challenge Intel for major coporate contracts.
 
I wonder if AMD really is capable of producing a 90nm, dual-core Turion that uses up 35w, since they've been hyping up dual-core notebook chips for a while. Or rather, I wonder if it'll actually be competitive to Yonah Pentium Ms (I'm sure AMD could make low clock-speed 90nm dual core, but the 2.0Ghz-2.4GHz range is a different story altogether).
 
We have already seen that a turn witch is just a socket 754 severly undervolted, co,petitively battle both in performance and in power consumption battle a P-M. We also aready saw that going DC added very little to the overall TDP of the CPUs 20W max or 25% more power. This doesn't including any of the power consumtion trick Intel used with the P-M. If they do those tricks and on a notebook DC will act like desktop DC then I see no reason they can't hit those goals.
 
This is exciting stuff, I hope this will enable them to gain ground in their production capabilities and lessen the gap between them and Intel. 65nm is looking really incredible, when are the first samples supposed to be released for review?
