Who are these jokers trying to fool? BTW, AMD fans, don't praise GloFo. GloFo is gutting your precious company for every last red cent that it can.

GloFo is a lot of hype in an attempt to fool some greedy investors in the UAE who thought they were getting a great deal but, in reality, bought a capex intensive lemon.

TSMC won't have their own fake 14nm until 2015 at the earliest, so I fail to see how GloFo will catch up with them.

I googled, there is alredy an arab-newspaper article about it, maybe in 2015:


http://www.thenational.ae/business/technology/abu-dhabi-microchip-maker-eyes-4-5bn-in-revenues

Its so far out its unbelieveble. Profitable 2015? - well then we have the explanation that 14nm will be ready so early... LOL.

I stopped reading any GF material years back. I dont have the slightest idea what the reason is for those fantasy predictions. Everyone and his brother knows its not going to work, and yet it happen? crazy stuff. Is it a cultural thing or what?

Take that newspaper article. Its less trustworthy than a commercial.

I know the expression sandbagging. What is the word for this?
