AMD Considering Getting Out of Fabrication Business

Posted by Zonk on from the say-hey-hey-goodbye dept.

mytrip writes "2007 has not been kind to AMD, but it's surprising to hear rumours that they might be considering outsourcing chip fabrication. Analysts are predicting that AMD will try to cut costs by moving some fabrication elements out of the company by early next year. 'One Citigroup analyst is predicting a "transformational move" that would result in AMD's lower-end CPUs being manufactured by a third party and possibly selling off part or all of its Dresden, Germany facility. Another report from Goldman Sachs outlines the investment firm's belief that the company will leave manufacturing completely in the hands of third parties.'"

      Yes, but then again so does blood pudding and an inbred monarchy. We restrict our inbred idiots to figurehead roles only; we wouldn't do something as stupid as voting one of them to become our leader :-P

    But with the infinite number of universes theory, do you think there is one just for slashdot with "business" spelled correctly?
