Which returns me to my original question....

If capital costs do not get booked in expenses as Windsock says. And if depreciation costs do not start on a fab until the fab goes into production. And if AMD makes as little profit as they have made this quarter (about $15 million possibly), how do you afford to build a new $2 billion fab unless you borrow to the hilt?

If you can't innovate and do the R&D and build the newer plants, how can you keep up with the leader in the Industry.

So isn't it really just a short time in history when Intel was racing a tight race against AMD during 1999-2001 and doesn't it stand to reason that AMD will have trouble keeping up with Intel on spending.
