Would you work in a company where Craig Barrett, CEO, says:

"The half-life of an engineer, software, hardware engineer is only a
few years.."

They have the cash to build fabs that (almost) no one else can.  That
is their strategic advantage.  Eventually though, good designs even on
outdated processes will kick their butts.  

What process size is R10K produced on?
