AMD could have invested more heavily in fab technology only if there had been a level playing field. Intel kept AMD at subsistence-level profits for just this reason.

AMD had a flash memory division; it's flash ran alongside their logic products in Fab25, but took a backseat to them in both production and engineering. As a result, their flash technology rapidly slipped behind the market leaders. AMD then formed a joint venture with Fujitsu called Fujitsu AMD Semiconductor Limited (FASL) to jointly develop and market their products at about the same time that AMD was moving their logic line to Fab30. FASL was soon split from both companies into a separate entity, and renamed to Spansion. Spansion has been making significant progress to regain both the market share and technology that AMD's priorities lost for them.
Submission + - HD-DVD night in pictures and videos

I hope you guys find it interesting, especially from the angle of the effects that a massive traffic storm has on a small Web site."
