No, never have, pretty much a ripoff of Intel. I thought they were from California, but if you love them and claim they are from Germany, no wonder.
If you haven't noticed the last few years, it's been Intel that's ripping off AMD -- 64-bit and dual-core for consumer machines (even uses AMD's instruction set). Intel was getting killed until their Core architecture, designed in Israel I might add.

They are, but their fabs are in Dresden.
