by 1989, Fab 9 in Albuquerque was built to receive the i486 from
the development fab in Oregon. It had to buy all of the same
equipment that was in place in developing the product in Oregon.
And not just the same equipment, but also the same options, the
same physical dimensions of the plant, even specifying the length
of hookups for every intake valve, every water pipe. We did everything
we could to make Fab 9 as close to an exact copy of the Oregon
fab and process as possible
