BAD HARDWARE WEEK

Why AMD builds new fab in NY to be ready in 2008?.
There must be an deep reason behind. Old architecture wouldn't enable AMD survival in a fierce competitition beyond the year 2008. So new architecture must be ready by then. Right?
Named K9 ? K8 in 2003, K9 in 2008, well more correct by 2H 2007 .
Some 4 years between two successive microarchitecture generations. Standard time frame, thus yet another confirmation of new core generation. But what about "confident" reports on K9 abandon?.
To me, they are condifent at the same extent as Nehalem death rumors in 2004. Thus, we got yet another Phoenix bird core.
EDIT !
But, might be that I am wrong: Even modified old cores (AM2 revision) would be perhaps enough to make all Intel's current me too microarchitectural experiments obsolete.
