I don't understand my self when I got over and over again surprised with your biased statements against AMD!

Lets stick to the facts: right now only Intel and AMD have production 45nm process and they're using it on the most complex chips!

Yeah TSMC is aggressive but still lags behind Intel and AMD in terms of process advancement. The gap will widen with future 'cos IBM and their alliance partners will have 32nm node before TSMC.
The new foundrys main competition will be its former Chartered partners and such. The small fish in the pond.
pfff Chartered can't come close to temporally named "Foundry Co." output!
