A bit about AMDs new fabs

Here's a really good article about AMDs new wafer fabs.

Some of the business behind the curtain is exposed, and the motivation behind the move for AMD to become a fab-less semiconductor company is discussed. The main motivation is their battle with Intel, and the future seems bright for Global Foundries as well.

I just wonder how long it will be before AMD becomes an ARM architectural licensee. And I will discuss the impact this would have in another post, because I'm busy right now.
