In a recent interview with AMD’s Tom Sonderman, X-bit labs records the following statement:
“We intend on competing for AMD’s graphics business in the 32nm/28nm technology node,” he said. However, as X-Bit pointed out, AMD is obliged to require both microprocessors and GPUs from Globalfoundries, as AMD is one of the owners; using the term “competing” may have been inaccurate. Still, Sonderman’s answer hints to the possibility that the company may be ready for 28nm processing soon.
ATI just released the 40nm card today, and it sounds like they’ve got 28nm chips in the pipeline. 32nm silicon is rolling out now, and they will be accepting customer designs later this year.
