A recent news item, see below the item referring to Fujitsu and AMD and an investment of $1.31 billion. Is there any additional info on AMD's share of this venture and its funding? 05/23 19:55 PRESS DIGEST - Asian Wall Street Journal - May 24 SINGAPORE, May 24 (Reuters) - The following stories were reported in Wednesday's electronic version of The Asian Wall Street Journal: * Korea's economy expanded by 12.8 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier, stirring debate over whether the government should increase interest rates or bolster the won to keep control of inflation pressures. * Wahid's decision to back a debt-restructuring plan for petrochemical giant Chandra Asri is being attacked by critics who say the agreement unfairly favours Marubeni <8002.T> of Japan. * Thailand's central bank will help pay the debts of a government bailout fund. The pact will help ties with the Finance Ministry, analysts said. * Jakarta ordered Freeport <FCX.N> to cut production at its Papua gold and copper mine. The government's reaction to a fatal accident at the site may cut the U.S. firm's source of revenue. * Taiwan's industrial production dropped under expectations last month, but economists say they are not concerned over the figures as export orders continued to surge. * Hong Kong's deflation rate slowed to 4.4 percent in April, but a weak housing market and questions over future U.S. interest-rate policies make inflation's revival uncertain. * Fujitsu <6702.T> announced a pact with AMD <AMD.N> to build a factory in Japan to boost production of flash-memory chips. The firm will invest $1.31 billion in the plant. * Foreign aid to Cambodia will hinge on good governance and improvement in the country's legal system, said international donors before their annual pledging session. * Japan enacted new regulations mandating that financial institutions tell investors of the risks linked with investing in financial products.
