Tad - Re: " : what is the significance of AMD becoming more focused in MPUs "

AMD is not becoming more focused in MPUs.

Vantis has been out of sight/out of mind for two years.

Unloading Vantis is no big improvement - AMD has ignored Vantis and this market for many many years - as you can judge by the ZERO GROWTH in Vantis while it's competitors - Xilinx & Altera - have blossomed.

The $500 million may come in handy, however, as AMD continues to burn cash at a fast clip. This $500 mil should last 2 quarters at least.
