albert - Your beloved analysts have some opinions on the AMD-IBM deal.

Check it out.

" Still, such a shift would leave AMD with the
question of what to do with its current
manufacturing plants. The company has
invested millions into its Austin plant and the
to-be completed plant in Dresden, Germany.

"It implies that they are throwing in the towel
on their own [manufacturing] processes. The
K6 is closely linked with their own
processes," said Ashok Kumor,
semiconductor analyst with Piper Jaffray.
"They should concentrate on filling that damn
fab (in Austin) instead of trying to find
someone else." Acquisition rumors have
swirled for months, he said, adding that he
did not put great stock in the rumors.

"AMD has a giant fab already," noted Linley
Gwennap, editor-in-chief of The
Microprocessor Report. "It doesn't make
much sense to me."
