Yes, but remember that there are several more steps involved rather than just announcing additional wafer production. And even 30,000 per month is a paltry number in the grand scheme of things.


I'm certain it is compared to when things are going at their capacity. Also the number reserved for 40nm wafers also will include all 40 nm chips, not just the 58XX series. I'm pretty certain that the availability will be greater than the 4770, though. I can recall an article saying the 4770's run was extremely limited and short in duration.
