    AMD announces move to 32nm in 09

    Please go easy on me here, but I need a little help understanding this tick-tock model... Is it just Intel that uses this or will AMD start too? Sorry for the newb question... I built my first PC 7 years ago and am currently typing on it now... time for a change. The old Athlon has had it!
