Intel Corp (INTC)

Wouter, yes, still it allows AMD to use larger dies, which come in especially handy when Intel is a year or so ahead in transitioning to smaller nodes. Fab 36 and fab 7 are a way to produce more dual core than otherwise possible. Transitioning fab 30 to fab 38 might provide the same function when Intel transitions to 45nm.
