10 Reasons Why Apple Should Acquire AMD [View article]
"AMD traditionally has horrible yields which is why they left IBM in the first place."
Oh really? Is that why they have a strategic partnership regarding process development primarily targeting SOI, which includes 32nm technology?
Actually, AMD dumped Motorola because the Motorola SOI process was inferior to IBM's. IBM helped AMD get back on track.
But to address horrible yields, AMD has had problems every now and again, but then again, when you consider that their budget for everything is just a fraction of what Intel spends, you should include that what they have accomplished is amazing considering their financial restrictions... largely due to past monopolistic activities on the part of Intel.... but I digress
