Advanced Micro Devices Inc says it expects to announce an agreement on a foundry for production of Am486s by the end of next month, but it does not see any revenues from the agreement before January next year: it expects to produce about 600,000 to 700,000 Am486 chips this year, and to increase that production to about 1m per quarter by the second quarter of next year; it is still negotiating in earnest with several possible foundry candidates.
