Jim, good post, I think you've got it right. There are some recognizable benefits to AMD, but most of them come only if AMD is still having yield problems at Fab 25.

Hopefully, whatever else might happen, the fact that AMD has its own fab will keep IBM honest as a partner. If IBM puts K6 on a third rate process, it'll find itself embarrassed when it ends up only producing low end K6's, with AMD dominating the high end.

AMD owes us more info about the terms of this agreement. As an investor, I value AMD's independence, and I don't like the the idea of AMD giving away K6/K7. There's material information being withheld here that we need to know!
