Re: However, they did have a fab for flash. Was APM used in the flash production ? Did they benefit from that ? How did AMD's results compare to Intel's ?

AMD spun off its FLASH business, but still owns a percentage of the new company and shares technology with it.

In that sense, AMD has 4 flash FABs (not "a" flash FAB). During the period in which AMD implemented APM, they went from being a generation behind intel in flash density (AMD was at 128 when Intel was shipping 256mb NOR) to about a 1/2 generation ahead. You may have seen that Intel recently announced they were going to begin sampling 1mb flash. AMD's shipping 1mb flash and began sampling last October. hardwaresecrets.com

I expect that by "impact" you mean bad tidings for Intel, and sugar plums for AMD. No ?

I don't expect the future to be simple and easy for AMD, or bleak horror for Intel. I also don't expect Intel to reestablish the same level of dominance that it used to have.
