THIS is how far GloFo is ahead of InFail

Thu May 31, 2018 1:43 pm

GloFo is SO FAR AHEAD of those drooling idiots at Intel with their miracle 7nm process that.... GloFo won't actually be able to supply AMD with all the products AMD wants on 7nm.

GF made the size of its 7-nm pitches and SRAM cells similar to those of TSMC to let designers like AMD use both foundries. AMD “will have more demand than we have capacity, so I have no issues with that,” he said of AMD using the Taiwan foundry.


So, AMD is apparently relying on both GloFo and TSMC.

Now you might think that this headache is actually a good thing for AMD.

But then think about how small AMD's volumes are in the grand scheme of things.
And remember that GloFo has flat out said that they can't even meet that level of demand.

All of a sudden Intel's 10nm process looks less failed.

The level of success/failure for one manufacturer shouldn't be used as a barometer for another. Everything looks like it's gone to **** - absolute **** - and nobody looks very good right now.
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.

You presume AMD has an unchallenged "dibs" on 100% of GloFo's 7nm production capacity?

Pretty much considering they dominate GloFo's 14nm capacity and still had to pay GloFo hundreds of millions of dollars to not run wafers.

For those of you who think GloFo is booked solid making Apple's Miracle ARM chips.... lol.
