well makes sense since GF used to be part of amd

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

This is known for extremely long time. AMD is paying to GloFo money every year for manufacturing of APU if they take them or not.
They have made update to deal that they will take more goods (more money for GloFo) but this now includes GPUs.
Did anyone think AMD is dumb or what?

GloFo is on the rise kind of atm and doing joint work with samsung towards 14nm is a good thing.

First sentence is it tcsm or tsmc? 🙂

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?

Is this good or bad? i thought AMD was royally screwed hard by glofo.

Ah who knows what's what anymore. so much is being said . But till i see one high performance 14 nm finfet on a AMD or Nvidia then it should all be taken with a grain of salt. Global F. Does not have a very good track record!

TSMC has already begun "risk production" on their new 16FF+ (Plus) process which is 40% faster and uses 50% less power than the 20nm SoC process while at the same speed. They expect 16FF+ production to ramp up to "volume production" by July, 2015. TSMC states that the regular 16FF node is geared more towards performance chips like GPU's, while the 16FF+ will dramatically cut power usage. This leads me to believe that we're going to see nVidia GPU's on 16FF sooner than many of us are expecting. Titan 2 on 16FF?
