<div>Not every product needs bleeding edge processes.</div>
<div>We had a big Philips fab in Nijmegen (NL) and at the time it was either get the latest process, or be made redundant, at some point in time it was decided to not get the latest processes, and then they started circling the drain. Not sure how they are currently doing.</div>
<div>Anyways, good that Alfa has found their niche, I think primarily because of Girts, right?</div>
