This generates cash that can be used for other activities. I don't know that AMD stock holders will see anything specific from this transaction however.

Some of that cash better go to steamroller and then excavator CPU designs to get them out as soo n as possible. This will also help AMD generate cash.

I'm willing to bet the CEO of AMD has an ownership stake in the building itself and will sell it back to AMD when the company recovers from this mess they have gotten themselves in to.
