I had not realized Intel's revenue had crept up to the point that it is almost 7x that of AMD's revenue. (or I guess it is more a case of Intel's revenue did not decline as much as AMD's so now the ratio is even higher)
Does the GloFo spin-off make any changes to AMD's revenue statements versus those of prior years? I wouldn't think it would, earnings yes but not revenue. Is that right?
