Could you elaborate? AMD spun their fabrication arm off into GlobalFoundries a while back, and they seem to be doing okay. I thought that would be a good precedent for Intel divesting its fabs too, but I'd love to hear any counterpoints to that.

Let's not pretend it was some kind of masterstroke done by a company that was firing smoothly on all cylinders. Do a Google search for the stock price. AMD announced the spinoff in October 2008.
