AMD Announces 1GHz Plant

As expected from the story I posted yesterday, AMD has opened/announced their Dresden plant in Germany. You can also check out this Reuters story while you are at it. Here's the deal:

Today we are dedicating a magnificent new manufacturing facility, the first fab of the new millennium, and the most advanced semiconductor manufacturing facility in the world,'' Sanders said. ``Next year, we plan to be producing AMD Athlon processors capable of running at 1 gigahertz, or 1,000 megahertz, here in Dresden.

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.
