BLEH!
Maybe a good time for AMD to buy back GloFo

^^ Nope, It's a bigger money pit than when AMD spilt. Be years and billions to try and make GloFo competitive at best.

God I second that no... good lord it was a contractural nightmare getting out of that relationship I cannot imagine AMD's CEO making the mistake of her predecessors by ever doing that again without some ironclad terms and an entirely different GlobalFoundries just in the same sense AMD is an entirely different AMD. The irony is what enabled that to happen, among many things included choosing TSMC over GloFo

Some people said they are not going to use the 8nm .... And i am asking .... Why not ? Low end and mid range gpu chips can work fine .....and would be better than throwing em on tsmc 7nm where they already print big navy ryzen 3 chiplets and both consoles clearly amd can not add yet more product lines on 7nm not for a while at least they can not cover the demand of the current ones at this point and time.

In short: Frak you Apple and automotives,because other players dont have enough apu,cpu and gpu waffers.
Unfortunatelly this was happen when America do not have 5-7 nm tech on their soil(exporting their know-how to others in SE Asia) or Europe sleeping in their pants all the time.

Would Samsung even have capacity for another major OEM at this time?

I am not surprised hearing this , the thing that worries me is that even the mighty intel cannot produce enough products to satisfy the demand . This was avoidable , there was steady growth for years and all the manufacturers knew this , why have they not invested more in new production facilities ? This stinks .

World wide semiconductor shortage = prices go up , simple .
