The deal with GF is actually slowly ending. I just read up, Can't find any sources for this. AMD paid GF up to start using other production facilities. Actually this was a penalty clause in the contract. A MASSIVE one. The contract is unchanged, they are committed to fab at GF or pay huge fines. Though if AMD can integrate their GPU and CPU with a proper backend they won't have to move to a different node. You think 28nm tech can compete with 14nm + FinFET? What about when EUV and 450mm come into it? |
