Rick, thank you. All right, right now I got a news alert on a pair of semiconductor giants. Christina parts and what is the news on the semiconductor giants.Well, we know Intel and AMD have been longtime rivals, but according to SEO, they are in early talks for AMD to use Intel's uh foundry services, more specifically their manufacturing factories. This could be a symbolic win for Intel as it really tries to rebuild credibility in chip manufacturing. And the deal fits a very common pattern just over the las ...
