Now I'll take it "real slow" for you.

UMC has a very low cost of capital, also enjoys a very low cost of labor, and there are some environmental issues they don't have to worry about, as well.

It may very well be that AMD's (or Intel's) cost is greater than UMC's price.

Yousef,

UMC wafer cost + profit > INTC wafer cost

Do you have anything whatsoever to back up this statement?
