The Bad:Motorola is pissed at Hector Ruiz. This could have far-reaching negative implications -- in terms of the AMD/MOT technology alliance.

In my opinion, this is not a concern. While the alliance may have been an initial benefit allowing AMD a quicker start into Cu BEOL, I don't see it as an absolute essential in the future. Moto is still not shipping any .18um G4 CPUs to Apple (look where they are) and from what I can tell no stand alone .18um SRAMs either. So, who is leading who here??? Moto's device design has never been first rate and I think AMD's engineers can do as well if not better. Also, I hope and pray AMD doesn't go down the SOI route that Moto is
touting for Apple. x86 is not a niche market and time to market is critical.

IMHO
