AMD fab-lite strategy announcement in 2 weeks, analyst says
9/4/2008
An analyst reports that AMD's tight-lipped manufacturing strategy may soon be disclosed and that it is expected to include plans to divest the chip maker's Dresden fabs. The possible fab spin-off could then be formed into a separate pure-play foundry, supported by IBM 45-nm process technology and cash from a Middle East investment group.
