IBM Begins Making Chips for AMD
Published Feb 6, 2012
|
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has announced it has started manufacturing its chips at IBM's facilities. The move aims to ensure AMD's ability to supply its next-generation A-series Fusion chips code-named 'Trinity' to PC makers and be in position to compete against Intel Corp's Core i-series future products. Officially, AMD produces its central processing unit exclusively at Globalfoundries (GF), the contract manufacturer of semiconductors controlled by Abu Dhabi's Advanced Technology Investment Co (ATIC) and AMD, which complained throughout 2011 about low production yield at Globalfoundries and even signed an agreement, under which it paid GF on per working chips basis, not on per wafer basis.
