Nobody really cares, unless you are an AMD employee.

If you can find it on the internet, it HAS to be true!

Dude that sucks. You lost your job. Bummer dude. Maybe now you'll have time to get a life.

Just a reminder, this is Austin fab, the one that will no longer even make any Durons at all. Who cares. Dresden is the place where it all happens.

Mat lost his job, but do you see him whining? NO. There are plenty of fabs out there he can apply for, as well as those workers. Hell I didn't even know a fab can hold over 800 people.

The point is this stuff happens all the time.

Wow, so you really are terrible at grasping simple concepts. I was wondering about that.

AMD layoffs are old news, I knew about this round several months ago. So im going with everyone else, who cares. (except the people layed off of course)

It will probably help AMDs bottom line. So in a sense, this is great news for AMD as a corporation,

Benchmarks are like sex, everybody loves doing it, everybody thinks they are good at it.

800 is a small fab, fujitsu gmd was a small>medium fab and we had like 1400 employees at peak.

While your at it why not post some picks of the building Intel never even bothered to finish in Austin?

It's not what they tell you, its what they don't tell you!

Enraged? Why would we be enraged? Perhaps , only at you continually trying to prove something that no one has any clue of , even yourself.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take....
....and, statistically, 99% of the ones you do.

I love crowded job places, there's always atmosphere.
But aren't fabs pretty much areas with machines closed so no one can see the inside but on the special comps that control whatever processes are done? If so, what makes it that it has so many people in it?

ummmm, not really. The "stations" are side by side. Its sort of an assembly line, but not like one you've ever seen before. Why are there so many people? Cuz their making an assload of chips. Lets say AMD has 1,500 fab workers. Not all 1,500 are working at once. They run the fab 24 hrs a day. So thats roughly 500 a shift. Im sure bigger fabs have more per shift.
The tricky part is recognizing people. In the bunny suits, all you see is their eyes. You get to know people by eyes, not by face. You can also recognize people by the way they walk.

When I first started at fujitsu I didnt know anyone, but within weeks I could tell who a person was on aisle 23 from aisle 1 with their back to me(our fabs main corridor was about 200 yards long(maybe more but then again its hard to tell everything was [-peep-] white), 26 aisles odd on the left even on the right, basically it has a main hall with aisles branching off of the sides, the tools were either stand alone(like My defect KLA and my Jeol SEM, or they were inset into the aisle walls(like the lam ashers and photo steppers).


It really is boring, metal grated floors and everyone in gortex bunny suits. White walls and white light(save for photo which has yellow light because of resist exposure concerns).

Exactly, all fabs run 24/7(with some shutdowns for mantainenece etc) also if your fab has adminstrative buildings or r&d buildings you add more people. 800 is small, 1500 is average from what I gathered.

Hey texas_t, do you know how many amders work at dresden, from what I heard from some ex amd people that fab is [-peep-] huge.


Also, have you ever heard of linda bond, she was with amd in austin and she was head engineer of YE at fujitsu while I was there.
