AMD will manufacture GPUs at Global Foundries

AMD will manufacture GPUs at Global Foundries

In our previous post about 16nm TCSM we've been wondering as to why AMD was not on the 16nm fab list, whereas other players like Nvidia have been named. The answer just came to us though, AMD will manufacture their GPU at Global Foundries. Global Foundries has made great progress claims Devinder Kumar from AMD at an investor meeting.

AMD sold Global Foundries in 2008 to raise cash in difficult times, Kumar stated that they will still fab 'some' products at 20nm and from there on-wards it will move to Finfet-chips. Gobalfoundries is working together with Samsung on 14nm already, Samsung will launch with SoCs based on that fab node next year already.

Finfets have a bigger surface area which helps switching faster for the transistors. Finfet chips are more power efficient, smaller and cheaper to manufacture.

It's unclear of AMD will remain partner of TSMC.

So is amd going straight to 14nm :o or stopping at 20nm for a while and then full steam ahead with 14. Seems like everyone is ready to just drop 20 :D


well supposedly everyone was saying 390x will be 20nm i'm skeptical tho

While Nvidia is stuck at 28nm next year, AMD will be on 20nm? The next year after that when Nvidia starts production on 16nmFinFET, AMD with the help of Samsung will start production on the 14nm process?

I dont think 14nm FinFet will be ready for high performance (HP) processors on the end of 2015..

20nm > 16nm Finfet.. or maybe they are able to go quickler to 16nm than with TSMC..

To me it seemed when reading bit more that only one going to 16nm FinFet is tsmc and rest straight to 14nm FinFet, tho since the naming conventions are weird and I ain't even close to being clear on those I ain't sure. 16nm is like 28nm and 20nm a Stopgap half-node, but like I know anything :D

First chips with 14nm FinFet should ship starting 2015 so I guess we will see high performing chips early 2016 maybe. But surely some 20nm parts will come out to fill the void.



well supposedly everyone was saying 390x will be 20nm i'm skeptical tho

We will see.
