AMD has its remaining stake in chipbakker GlobalFoundries of the hand-done as part of new agreements on waferleveringen. AMD remains a ‘strategic customer’, but can the chipproductie host of other foundries.
As part of the new production agreement to sell AMD its minority interest of 8.8 percent of GlobalFoundries, is to read in The Washington Post. Also is AMD now no longer bound by the previous agreement to a new processor for a certain period of time for GlobalFoundries to take off.
Further need AMD, as part of the new agreement, not an amount per quarter to pay more to the chipbakker, as agreed in the privatisation of the chipproductiefaciliteiten of AMD in 2009. Below the line must be AMD for the new appointments, 425 million dollar payment to GlobalFoundries. AMD recognizes this, in the first quarter of 703 million dollars in other costs.
The new appointments give AMD the ability to have processors with a other chipbakker to take off, while the GlobalFoundries allows for a full independent chipproducent to be. However, AMD is still the main purchaser.
GlobalFoundries was created in 2009 by the privatisation of the chipproductietak of AMD. Advanced Technology Investment Co, set up by the government of Abu Dhabi to the technology sector in the golfstaat to stimulate, acquired a majority interest therein, and the company has now entirely in the hands.
