AMD is currently preparing its presentations for the company’s annual stockholder meeting next week and we hear that the company will let us know that more than 1 million quad-core CPUs have been shipped. Not all of these processors, however, are sold for the official tray price. Some are going for as little as $1 a pop and in this particular case, even that is not enough to keep certain customers happy. We came across this juicy bit of information after talking to some of our sources in the Asia-Pacific region and it appears that AMD is currently caught in a supercomputer SNAFU with the Chinese government.
