My point is to show that AMD engineering are people too. There are only so many hours in the day and with a small company it’s expected that you get the answers to problems…..there is no redundancy. Process engineering is allot of work and is not to be taken for granted. I think AMD has resource issues. Great plans and continued push, but short on people to get the job done.

All well said. Also, don't forget in addition, that when your fabs use different Process Equipment, all the above mentioned conditions are magnified. Intel using a copy exactly Process, same tools, same procedures, same everything, allows the Engineer with some sort of excursion to draw on the resources of the "Virtual Factory".

"I see a problem..... do you see it too? Have you seen it in the past? What did you do? Can I send you some of my wafers to run on your tools? Can you send me some of yours to try on mine? Let's get everyone on a bridge and brainstorm." This is a big advantage in resolving many of the issues that B2L notes. It's a manufacturing resource advantage, that AMD and their foundry don't have.
