Rumors are going that the "asset smart" plan which AMD CEO Hector Ruiz announced last year, is in fact a plan to split the manufacturing part from the chip design and R&D. AMD has chosen not to comment on these rumors, and even though there's a share holders meeting tomorrow, AMD is not expected to make a statement on the matter. Analysts believe that AMD will share manufacturing with Chartered Semiconductor, or simply outsource to TMSC, in the future.
