[Not a Short]

13*4 = 52

There is no need for a 14 week quarter unless you think the one spare day a regular year or 2 spare days every 4th year is significant. I'd still call it a 13 week quarter even if it was 92 days instead of 91.

Re: "AMD (and Intel) run on 13 week quarters, not 3 month quarters!

So do they must have a quarter that is 14 weeks at some point or they wouldn't stay in sync with a calendar year."

Right, since 13 x 4 x 7 = 364, then every (non-leap) year there's an extra day and you'd get an extra week every 7 years. Leap years screw that up, and you really get an extra week an average of 5.6 (7/1.25) years.
