I wonder who at AMD is trying to peddle false rumors to the trade press?

Here at TechEye, we hear odd rumours all the time. It’s par for the course in the dog-eat-dog world of billion dollar semis.

But once in a while we stumble across a rumour that is clearly the product of- if we’re being magnanimous - wishful thinking, or even more likely purposeful misinformation.

Of course, the firm involved chose to spread the info as “off the record” which leads to a rather interesting moral dilemma. Namely, if someone says something to a hack off-the-record and said hack discovers it's completely inaccurate, and maybe even purposeful misinformation, can one publish it anyway?

Our esteemed editor says yes. Drop AMD in it.
