AMD just issued a release saying that president and CEO Dirk Meyer will be making a “significant corporate announcement” tomorrow, which sounds ominously like those breakup rumors are coming true — particularly since Dirk’s on record saying that the chipmaker plans to spin off manufacturing and fabrication into a new company. We’ll see in the morning — anyone planning on throwing a blowout “last night of the old AMD” party in the meantime?
Update: The WSJ confirms it’s a breakup — but don’t worry, they’ll still be friends. [Thanks, aztalon]
