Jim,

Do you think the folks at AMD just fell off the turnip truck. They aren't going to give chips to IBM. It's a pure foundry arrangement. Now why would AMD try and keep IBM as a customer at the expense of company profits? TSMC, UMC, IBM all have foundries. Does that mean that everything they build in those foundries they get for free? Absolutely not. AMD has been in talks with IBM for several months on their Copper technology. AMD will pay royalties on that technology. Your assumption that AMD is giving up something to sign IBM as a foundry is ridiculous.
