Ding ding ding!
Its SOP every year. Do note that many former intel managers now hold one-up positions at Dell. They're pretty chummy, which doesnt keep them from playing the game.
Jim- only problem with renting out fab space is that AMD isnt making a profit in the first place...and now they have to pay someone for manufacturing their products too?
We lose money on every sale, but make it up in the volume?
Plus AMD's track record on getting fabs built quickly and having them turn out quality product at high enough yields in their first years run is awful. Look at the Dresden miasma.
This is Intels forte. Manufacturing and reliability. Nobody can come within a country mile of them when it comes to banging together a fab and knocking out quality product from day one at the lowest cost.
Sure, the technology isnt as good right now and they're into way too many distracting things. Thats what I suspect Otellini will fix. These "problems" started 5 years ago on Barretts watch.
