YB -

AMD will have 50 ingeneers at IBM site by the year end and they expect 55 nm production one year from now.

Isn't this the same company that expected to announce Hammer a year and a half ago? The same company that expected to be profitable this quarter? The same company that expected Hammer to be the world's fastest processor?

I expect AMD won't meet their expectations.

YB, Re: they expect 55 nm production one year from now

IBM won't have 90nm until late next year, so what kind of wishful thinking says that they'll have 65nm (I assume you meant 65nm, not 55nm)? The equipment that you need for that technology node won't even be available next year, so what will they use? Sorry, but it's not going to happen. I think you misheard or they misspoke.
