The 0.09 factory that IBM is building for AMD is 100% getting build by IBM.

AMD is not allowed to let more than 20% of the total production capacity getting
produced by other manufacturers. This is the deal with intel for using the
IA-32. It forbids AMD to produce again more than 20% by other manufacturers.

Therefore AMD is going to buy that factory from IBM and then it is called 100%
AMD on the paper.

See what i mean?

This is common knowledge. Yes you can find this online when you search on the
web. Please ask directly to the intel marketing managers from which many are
online at for example:
  http://www.realworldtech.com/index.cfm

 José Javier Zarate  is one of the many intel spokesmen there.

You can also ask directly there to the AMD and Intel engineers, you know those
guys who produce the chips.

Why would i waste time to provide something very well known to idiots like you.

Go there yourself and ask.

Also please put there that you consider it a stupid theory of a guy called
Vincent Diepeveen that 20% of the production capacity of AMD can be produced by
other manufacturers because of x86 agreements with intel.

Best regards,
Vincent
