I so much love having more arabs in our land

OMGOSH MORE ARABS I LOVE EM GIMME MORE GIMME MORE !!

not.

Be nice if they could give us two towers back instead.

Cliff, while you are 'commending' AMD for building in the US - realize that AMD is not building a fab (GF is), and GF (or AMD if you prefer even though they are a minority owner) is bilking the NY taxpayer out of ~1.4+Bil dollars, which amounts to over~$1Mil per job created and NY paying for more than 33% of the fab (maybe they should get an ownership stake?). This also assumes of course all of these are NEW jobs, and some are not transfers from say Dresden or some existing folks at the IBM facility?

This is the same company that moved their Austin facilities to Germany for subsidies, and only moved back to the US when they got a HUGE payment from US taxpayers and couldn't get a similar amount from Germany a 2nd time.

It is clear Cliff is just an AMD spinster - look at his comment about dual cores being good enough; yet who was the one trying to make low speed quads mainstream (AMD), because they couldn't get clocks up on the dual cores. Who is the one arguing that netbooks need 1080p graphics capabilities on screens that don't even have 1080 lines?

Perssonaly I think its great that AMD and Global Foundries are investing in US jobs.

I hope they suceed and perform well.

To the prior poster that says AMD is two generations behind in CPU tech to Intel, I ask this, does it realy matter to the average consumer? Most folks are getting plenty of performance out of thier dual core machines, who is the i7 realy for? Its for an enthusiast that does alot of encoding, and even then, is that CPU the real ceneterpiece of a high end computer system today? What about the graphics solution, AMD offers full platform computing with matching chipset, CPU and graphics, I don't think they are necessarily behind Intel, I think they have a more balanced approach that the market is slowly learning to appreaciate.

Right now, there is nothing in Luther Forest but trees, dirt, and some black bears and deer. No cubes to speak of.

But soon, I've been told, soon. Construction contracts are being let.

Recession Took STeWie by storm, yet if you bought AMD at $1.63 earlier this year in just few months you could have doubled your money, already. perhaps AMD Already did. Isn't "trouble" thing bit of self beggery? AMD did this to itself by ploping Barcelona on Public & is now two generations of cpu behind, i7 & Nehalem. don't expect anycrushing upward spiral, yet another doubling as AMD crawls out of barcelona fiasco is inevitable or, slow sinking into western sun, if more failures of projects occur. gone are power days of X2, Intel has Reins & going to trott out dunington within year, could be axe that cut head off of AMD or might find huge niche market, as such powerful processing isn't often needed by public. Money Has Multiplier that is Unlocked, too. yet will intel drown AMD or AMD recover or at least stay in place for quite long time? drashek
