From the recent front page post: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13279/amd-to-fab-7nm-cpus-gpus-at-tsmc

In short, AMD is now shifting over the bulk of their bleeding-edge development to TSMC. The company is careful to note that they “intend to focus the breadth” of their 7nm production at TSMC rather than all 7nm production – leaving open the possibility of using TSMC rival Samsung in the future – but the message is clear that we should expect AMD’s major 7nm products to be fabbed out of TSMC now that GlobalFoundries is no longer an option.

Will initial production of Zen2, Raven Ridge follow on and 7nm Vega have limited initial production? I don't know how soon AMD knew of GF's plans, but it seems unlikely that TSMC was had time to expand it's 7nm capacity in time. Anyone have any info or informed opinions?

Already been discussed in the other GF stops 7 nm thread.
