AMD's 28nm GPUs are based on GlobalFoundries' 28 SHP Node - Alleges Italian Report
We recently published a piece telling you that AMD'southward 20nm GPUs have been delayed and won't be appearing in Early 2022 (will announced in later quarters). However the Italian publication Bitsandchips.it has revealed that AMD will be using the SHP (super high performance) 28 nanometer node from Global Foundries for the intermediary 28nm GPUs. But here is the golden question: which GPUs volition AMD utilize this process for? The speculated 'enhanced' Hawaii' or early variants of Caribbean Islands?
AMD using 28nm SHP Process from GloFo for Intermediary GPUs in 2022
We already knew AMD is bringing out 28nm GPUs later on our last piece, merely the question notwithstanding remained about the exact process; something which has at present been pinned to Global Foundries. This is something that most analysts were expecting, and if truthful, isn't really surprising considering the comments AMD dropped at preceding technology conferences. The report further goes on to country that 20nm TSMC is non a possibility since the only 20nm node that TSMC has is the SOC LP i which tin't exist utilized for high performance ASIC applications - something we have stated earlier besides. However, a very interesting statement that they make is that AMD will be using 14nm LP Samsung (-GloFo?) by the terminate of 2022. This implies that we are looking at FinFETs by the end of 2022 and Low Power node suggests APUs and embedded applications.
The report further mentions that they are choosing not to go with TSMC'due south 28nm node because of the very high cost now associated with that node, every bit opposed to using a pseudo-inhouse foundry like GloFo. Non merely volition that exist cheaper, but development more flexible and supply line interactive. Finally they mention that by 2022, AMD could utilize 16nm FinFET TSMC for high stop GPUs. They are basically stating that Zen and K12 will exist produced at TSMC and not at GloFo (atleast initially). Information technology is possible that AMD volition shift to Global Foundries once the node matures. Information technology is difficult to tell the speculation apart from the actual leak in reports like this, but nigh of the report aligns with our own writeups.
There is some contradiction between our report and this ane, but I believe that is for the readers to decide as our task is to report with consummate professional impartiality, not to mention speculating on speculation is, frankly, quite redundant.
