AMD works with the fabs to choose the best transistors for their designs, 

Kinda nope, the previous supplier for AMD 14nm FF was GloFo, but AMD got a back up options with Samsung/TSCM just in case the GloFo will not be able to meet the demand.

Some months ago GloFo  announced they simply cease 7nm process and focus on 12nm, so AMD turned  to TSCM, and that makes them a problem or two.

More over, the AMD got problems with GloFo in 2011-2012, the problems were so big that AMD simply cancelled Deccan in one move.

Now they have switched for TSCM, because no other options left, simply that.

As for Vega, it was already delayed,so...
