burn2learn - ever heard of Fab30? Why is it so hard to conceive of AMD picking the useful, appropriate techniques they can garner from IBM that will pan out for AMD's purposes? Last I checked, IBM was not AMD's sole output producer. For that matter, have they even planned to actually produce anything for AMD yet? Paul
AMD simply hasn't cut costs yet. If they don't they will be belly up in a year.
AMD investors love to question why the stock isn't going up, yet few look at the financials. The only certainty is that the upper management will cash in before the shareholders are s$rewed.
