Imho, I think you should manage your expectations better. AMD isn't reversing any previous stance which is what I think you imply; it's only providing more detail.
AMD signed an agreement that SemIndia can use it's process IP for 90nm when that new fab is finally finished (>18 months from now). It never said it intended to take a stake in SemIndia, just that it was an option that they now seem not to be using. Like we say in Holland there are a thousand ways to Rome. Like subcontracting (Chartered model comes to mind for Geode's).
That other line you quoted ("AMD’s chip plant in India to put pressure on rival Intel") is completely fabricated by some short circuits in the authors brain. Like a sound bite with almost no truth behind it. AMD never had a chip plant in India, and never signed any agreement that it would build or own a plant there.
