   thats a really dumb move.. that'll leave even less processors in the market, and the AMD's lower-level processors are keeping the company alive... for building a budget PC, you'll always find an AMD proc, and an ATI graphics card... its the best bang for the buck.. but when you want something more expensive, they don't cut it.

   I'd guess that the move is more an unavoidable necessity. If they're to compete with Intel, they're going to need to retrofit their fabs, which can't happen until they take them off the production line. Unlike Intel who has billions of dollars in revenue, they're seeing losses and probably can't afford to build a whole new plant for the next gen processors.
