"I would think any business at some point expects to be profitable."
AMD has predicted profitability for "the next quarter" for the past 9 quarters.
"The point I was trying to make was it does not matter if the Fabs are connected phisycaly in some way or not."
So who cares - the same AMDroids that predicted AMD's one FAB 30 could produce 50 million CPUS a quarter and supply the whole world's requirements? Whatever happened to those predictions?
