i thk its because the fab won't be ready till 2012 and by then it's expected to be 28nm/22nm time according to roadmaps.

did w1zz just forget googlebots? they can come behind you and eat you

No, too many people out there on the intertubez would enjoy that way too much.

amd sold their fabs to globalfoundries for $$$. now they will have to spend $$ to buy every cpu from globalfoundries they want to sell (and dont have to be bothered with the whole fabrication process anymore).

its like .. if i am broke i'll sell my car but have to use a taxi every time i go somewhere. gives me lots of $$ to burn on partying, coke and strippers, why should i worry about next year

I think there was some real doubt that there would be a next year if they didn't do it.

but AMD will also be making money off Global Foundries for owning such a large portion of it no? i mean what do they own like 30% of shares or something. And i bet Global Foundries when finished will get great business so wouldn't that mean AMD will be getting nice paychecks for their shares? Sounds like a really good move that AMD did. Also, do you think AMD will get lower prices from Global Foundries for producing their chips compared to what GF would charge Nvidia or intel if they go to global foundries? or would that be violating some sort of business/fairness law or w/e?

I might be mistaken, but even though AMD has a minority of the shares, don't they own >50% of the voting rights?

Nice, but who is building AMDs procs right now? I thought they closed the Dresden Germany site?
