AMD finally fleshed out the "Asset Smart" strategy it has been talking about since, at least, last December. The result: AMD is now fabless.

This is a good move by Ruiz but it is not good enough, in my opinion. AMD is buying precious time so as to delay the inevitable disaster that is waiting around the corner. Instead of taking advantage of the unprecedented opportunity afforded by the parallel programming crisis to leapfrog over its main competitor with breakthrough technology, AMD chose to play the me-too fiddle. That is sad. But it is not too late for Hector Ruiz and Dirk Meyer to turn the company around and become the leader of the processor industry for decades to come. And then they can buy their old fab back, if they feel manly.
