Take a look at AMD's debt load for starters.

However, many times in AMD's past they have been in much worse a position than they are in now and they have survived.

What does that have to do with Intel having significantly lower
processed wafer cost than AMD at 65 nm?

AMD has indeed survived bad times in the past. Nevertheless
Intel makes billions in profit each year while AMD over its entire
lifetime hasn't made a single net dollar.

I don't think AMD is going under either, and you accurately point out a bunch of ways that AMD is better off now than they where during bad times before, but AMD does have higher costs and debt than in the past.
