The benefit package, given to AMD in 2006, was transferred to a new partnership between AMD and an Abu Dhabi technology investment fund that is investing in it during a meeting in New York City.
AMD announced in October it was spinning off its expensive manufacturing operations to the new joint venture, being called The Foundry Co.
The incentives include a $650 million cash payment by the state and Empire Zone state tax credits, as well as infrastructure investment.
