Another AMD Factory in 2004

by Maarten Goldstein Jan 09, 2001 8:14am CST tags: AMD
AMD is growing, and even though their Dresden, Germany factory didn't open that long ago there are already plans for a third factory in 2004. Since the new factory would cost around $4 billion though, they are looking for a partner who could use the 300-millimeter facility as well. Intel is opening a 300-millimeter facility in 2002 (the normal wafer surface is 200 millimeter and so the processor makers can get more chips out of the new factories).

Burning Thunderbirds

by Steve Gibson Dec 30, 2000 7:55am CST tags: AMD
Pauly sent in this link to a burn-in article on AcidHardware which mentions that you'll actually get better overclocking results on one of those AMD Thunderbird chips if you sweet talk them a bit first. Or, you can just do this in front of the AMD booth. If you have an Intel chip, there is a similar method.
