they also announced the NAND joint venture with Micron, and the joint development/second source agreement with STM for NOR flash right before the IPO. They did everything to sabotage the IPO.

The STM alliance for NOR was reasonably a turd in AMD's
punchbowl but I think putting the Micron venture in the same
category is a bit of a stretch.

Care to tell us how much the shortfall from $16 - $18 to
$12 directly cost AMD?

How much?

That wasn't a rhetorical question. Obviously the Spansion
IPO brought in much less cash than hoped for. Some specific
portion of that shortfall must effectively come straight out of
AMD's pocket. It is what, 40%? 60%?
