Perhaps the yields from TSMC’s 40nm process have been very low and supplies of many of AMD’s latest and greatest video cards are very low because of that and maybe GlobalFoundries is working on a 32nm process that AMD is not yet finished developing cards for; but that doesn’t mean they are looking for a third supplier.  Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager of AMD’s Graphics Products Group stated that they are not looking for a new partner when he was asked directly. 

DigiTimes has gathered a variety of information from Bergman’s talk, from the current state of manufacturing to a peek at the near future and on into 2011.


“In response to a question about whether AMD is considering adding a foundry partner – due to current capacity perhaps not being able to support recovering market demand in the future – Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager of AMD’s Graphics Products Group, indicated the company has no plans to increase its foundry sources and will rely on its current partnerships with Globalfoundries and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) for chip manufacturing.”
