AMD market share if they could sell all they make?

[Rob Stow]

Yeah, AMD pulled the rug out from under that partner to partner with IBM
instead.

I was under the impression that AMD pulled out of that deal
because of sub-par performance by UMC. Its not as if UMC
was holding up their end of the bargain.

Well, isn't that still by defnition, "pulling the rug out from under"?

Not really. UMC never managed to get onto the frigging rug.
The way things seem to have gone is that UMC missed several
deadlines and by the time AMD cancelled the deal they were
something like eighteen months or two years behind schedule.
AMD didn't violate their contract with UMC - the contract
set out deadlines that would have let AMD off the hook long
before they actually pulled the plug.

No, if this is true, it's more like 'U' left 'A' "high-and-dry"
and 'A' looked for another boat. Note that 'A' didn't do so well
with 'M' either. I'll not imply anything further.

And now we're on to 'I'... hmm, third time's the charm? :>

This isn't the first time 'A' and 'I' have cooperated either.
