Made in Taiwan.:biggrin: TSMC ?
No, it's fabbed at GloFo, packaged in Taiwan.
Ding ding ding.
They've ported Kabini from TMSC to GloFo.
I thought AMD was on Global Foundation for quite a while?

They've ported Kabini from TMSC to GloFo.
And now they have the full set of GCN1.1, GCN1.0 and Jaguar blocks all on GloFo. Console APUs next?
Can we speculate they have something waiting for TSMC, that will meet with high demand and they are making more room for it?
Possibly on 20nm, possibly wrong forum?

No. Also TSMC 28nm utilization is low.
Its simply due to the WSA. The big question is when they will be forced to move GPUs to GloFo as well.
Are we certain 28nm utilization is low?
Are we certain 28nm utilization is low?
Yes. Utilization was at 65-70% in Q4 2013. And is first to be normalized in Q2 2014.
Mainly due to high inventory at customers.
so this could be the reason AMD claims beema/mullins will be more efficient.
