    AMD need for Intel to have delays with multisocket Nehalem, 32nm and to have Westmere also have problems, because if Intel execute multisocket Nelly, 32nm and Westmere according to their roadmap, AMD will be even worse placed for all of 2010 than they have been for all of 2008 and I just couldn't imagine them surviving all that.

    There must be some chance of Intel having problems with at least one of those 3 things, so we will see, but how can one not see the massive problems AMD is potentially facing?
    AMD is also dropping its FAB's so this means less overall debt and costs. They can put more of their money back in to R&D and keep things moving along at a better pace. As long as they have a decent P2 launch here and then can keep up the performance and the pace while putting out the triple and dual core models OEM's will be eager to snap them up as long as priced properly. This gives them a healthy chance to climb back into the ring and stay competitive. They don't need Intel to falter, it would help, but they are more than capable now to keep themselves afloat.

    You forgot that Fab R&D gets cutted. Since ATIC doesnt invest as much as AMD did. Plus the profit loss etc from not owning the fabs. And AMD is keeping the vast majority of its debts.
