So, how do they support this big ramp they are expecting... or maybe it's not going so big. What the heck is Hector doing?

AMD took a charge (one of many charges) last quarter and a few analysts asked about it - it was a $47 million write-off, I believe - that AMD tossed into a category of R & D write-off.

That amount was almostly certainly what they spent at UMC.
