RE:"Last time AMD entered into a fab agreement it was indeed bad news. AMD entered into an agreement with IBM for the production of 0.25-micron K6 processors because AMD's own process was not coming up to speed."

I believe AMD got the bugs worked out of their .25u process in time to cancel the agreement with IBM.

OTOH, getting IBM to fab for you can be hazzardous to your ASPs as Cyrix found out. I think UMC and IBM are also getting together, BTW.
