    it's not a surprise that people do that. If you/AMD want prevent that, they need a better communication strategy.

    Again, that's basically investor board fud as usual.

    Globalfoundries provides measurement data showing that "Gate first"
    is working fine, with low Vt variation, low Idsat variation and is showing
    healthy Weibull slopes under accelerated degradation tests comparable
    to Poly-SION.

    Of course, the prowess in powerpoint of the IBM FAB alliance is impressive.
    Yeah, I'm still waiting since January 2007 for a HKMG process from the IBM alliance.

    IBM and partners tip high-k, metal gates

    SAN JOSE, Calif. — IBM Corp. claims that it has developed the long-awaited improvements to transistor technology: high-k dielectrics and metal gates for use in logic chips.

    Working with Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and its other development partners, Sony Corp. and Toshiba Corp., IBM has found a way to construct a critical part of the transistor with a new high-k/metal gate material, clearing a path toward chip circuitry that is smaller, faster and more power-efficient than previously possible.

    The high-k and metal gate substitutes a new material into a critical portion of the transistor that controls its primary on/off switching function. The material provides superior electrical properties compared to its predecessor, enhancing the transistor's function while also allowing the size of the transistor to be shrunk beyond limits being reached today.

    The technology can be incorporated into existing chip manufacturing lines with minimal changes to tooling and processes, making it economically viable.

    IBM has inserted the technology into its state-of-the-art semiconductor manufacturing line in East Fishkill, N.Y. and will apply it to products with chip circuits as small as 45-nm starting in 2008.

    You are trying to assign new meaning for word "put".
    After this you really should not take offense for Trollidamus...
    AMD created schedule for themselves where they put (=placed, not moved) different products in different order. Initially. They did not move the order.
    You are a bit confused. Reread 10 times what you wrote and what I did and maybe you'll see the light.
