AMD brings part processorproductie at IBM

After GlobalFoundries and TSMC is IBM the third-party company that AMD processors are going to fabricate. Supposedly, the partnership entered into because the yields of GlobalFoundries on 32nm-proced lwa disappoint.

AMD ceo Rory Read made cooperation with IBM, between the nose and lips by known at a presentation for analysts, writes XBit Labs. Further details about the collaboration were not outside, which is still unknown which proportion of the total production at IBM to be found. At this time, test AMD the production of its new chips at IBM’s factories.

Until now left AMD, the majority of its processors to produce by GlobalFoundries, which in 2009 was formed from a spin-off of AMD’s productietak. Probably wants AMD not a single foundry. The company had a new 28nm-apu’s on the roadmap that are also GF fabriceerd would be, but these models were deleted. AMD would be going to 28nm-apus by TSMC to produce, which was also previously Brazos-apus for AMD liver.

The company struggled in recent years with apu deficits, because the yields of 32nm chips at GlobalFoundries were low. AMD therefore closed even a new agreement, in which the only pay for correctly functioning chips instead of whole wafers. That agreement ran, however, at the end of 2011.
