ALBANY, N.Y. -- Semiconductor maker Advanced Micro Devices Inc., lured by about $1 billion in state incentives, will build a multibillion dollar chip manufacturing plant in upstate New York and create 2,000 permanent jobs, state and company officials said Friday.

AMD, based in Sunnyvale, Calif., chose to locate the new plant on a 600-acre site in Malta, about 25 miles north of Albany, after considering bids from East Asia and Germany, state officials said.

"The Hudson Valley is going to be America's next Silicon Valley," Pataki said. "We're well on our way to achieving that, I'm extremely confident this is just the beginning."

Pataki said the state and company would invest $3.2 billion initially adding another $2 billion over the next few years. The deal comes after several years of Pataki efforts to entice a major chip manufacturer to come to New York.



They finally did it! :D
I hope this one to be 450mm

So

they finally did it! :D



So I guess the rumors of AMDs demise were premature.

Too bad that bill will be fronted by the American tax payers, but whatever right bad management in the past caused FAB's to close, and tax dollars help replace what was lost.

Could you imagine if they managed to launch 450mm and 45nm at the same time in H2 08'. 8)

The US Gvt has a money spending problem even when their economy is crashing around them. There's a reason our dollar's are nearly 1:1

Well, 9-inch's own article saids:

Quote :

Construction on the 1.2 million square foot plant is slated to begin in July 2007 and be completed by July 2009. The plant will be fully operational sometime between January 2012 and January 2014.


So I can't imagine 450mm and 45nm in 2008. Makes you wonder what that plant will be producing though. By 2014, we may no longer be using silicon although given Intel's 2 year schedule they theoretically would reach 22nm by 2012 and given AMD is about a year behind they'd have 22nm in 2013 or the time frame of this plant. I wonder why their time frame is so wide though, 2012-2014.

There is about as much chance of 450 mm @ 45 nm as 9-inch has of winning a nobel prize :) ....

jack, you have pwned your ass.
It will be fully functional between 2012 and 2014, so it is possible to be 450mm 45nm as 9nm said without reading the article. About 9nm and nobel prize, sounds cool.

It's actually possible. As quiet as it's kept Fab36 is doing 300mm 90 and 65. With Chartered helping, it will be easier to update Fab38 in a flip flop manner.
