Yousef,

re: "So AMD does not have an advantage in that technology (C4 flip chip packaging)"

AMD has been using this technology since the K6 was announced. They have nearly a year of experience because Intel has just started using this technology. Solder Bumps/Flip Chip technology is not trivial to use, so I would have to say that AMD does have an advantage over Intel with respect to experience with this packaging technology.
