AMD Cutting CPU Production Comments

Oh dear, bad move AMD. Supply and demand of course effects prices, but this could just end up giving Intel a free lunch, unless of course Intel follow suite. Risky move I would say.

Didn't AMD go fabless ?

Not really surprising considering they current economic climate (which reminds me, when will people stop referring to the 'credit crunch' and start calling it a recession?) and that they haven't been competing with Intel for a while now, both on performance and price.

Although if people keep trying this, they'll have to up the orders!

@smc8788: when will people stop referring to the 'credit crunch' and start calling it a recession?)

Well, there both separate things, yes were in a Credit Crunch (the ability to get credit is very hard), and yes were in a Recession, (2 quarters of negative growth). Just because were in a Recession doesn't mean were no longer in a Credit Crunch, although Gordon is trying his hardest to get rid of the CC, at the tax payers expense of course.

... by giving our money straight to banks - in the vain hope they'll loan us back our money.

@ Keith,

I didn't phrase that very well, I meant people often use the terms interchangeably, as if they do mean the same thing.

@ilovethemonkeyhead: .. by giving our money straight to banks - in the vain hope they'll loan us back our money.

Hehe, yeah, you really couldn't make it up could you.
The thing that narks me is that how the government pretends helping the banks protected people with mortgages, WHY? eh, don't get that one Gordon, all they had to do was protect savers, and then let the banks burn in there own mess.
