As we found out here, when Mr. Andy Bryant told the public about hundred-percent loaded Intel’s production lines (see this news story) he meant not only those manufacturing 0.18micron Pentium 4 CPUs but all production lines involved in the "logic" chips manufacturing (that is processors and chipsets). In other words, they have loaded to the full extent the production lines for 0.18micron CPUs (Pentium III, Pentium 4/Willamette and Celeron), 0.13micron CPUs (Pentium III, Pentium 4/Northwood and Celeron), and for chipsets (i815, i845, i850, i810 chipset families). And this is what they call semiconductor industry crisis??? :-)
To be fair we should say that despite the overloaded production capacities, Intel’s sales are expected to grow just a tiny bit, if they grow at all: from $6.5 to $6.7-$6.9 billion. If the attribute "tiny" can refer to sums like that, as it is about some 400 million dollars. Just for a better comparison: AMD managed to get around $765.9 million for all the CPUs sold in Q3 2001. So, everything in this world is relative…
