| Procrastinato said: MS screwed IBM on the die shrinking profits, and the rights to manufacture the CPU, I hear. Thus, no one is working on making the X360 45nm, to my knowledge. I don't believe there will be a model newer than the Jasper until AMD finishes its CPU/GPU combo chip. |
They have used Chartered for a while but since Global Foundries are also part of the same IBM fab alliance they could transfer to them relatively easy. I don't believe they have to wait until Fusion releases, CPU companies often tape out a year ahead of the release of a new model. The lessons which need to be learnt have most likely been learnt by now.
Tease.
