Fudo has also learned that Ferrari will be dropping from AMD's sponsorship list. I was kind of puzzled why they focused so much on Ferrari, and not at all on anything else. I mean anything else. Oh, well, let's drop Quakecon sponsorship, but pick up Ferrari. Made sense right?

Henry Richard, the former Vice President of AMD and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer that went to Freescale semiconductors, was responsible for Ferrari sponsorship. As he likes fast cars, he had decided that spending millions on Ferrari and Nascar sponsorship was worthy; and since he has gone as of September 2007, AMD is trying to get itself out of this several million heavy deal.
