I thought AMD and Global Foundries were tied together from the AMD re-org?

Looks like the resident schizo's posts are starting to get moderated...

If AMD could switch foundries overnight and get good yields, they would, but it's not that simple.

They'll probably give GlobalFoundries a few 32 nm contracts and depending on how they go, GF will or will not become their primary supplier.

Until then, they have to make do with TSMC.

And also they need booth because AMD want to become another silicon grab company and want all of the chips in their platform for respective funcitions come from their product.

Except if Intel did not allow AMD to spin off their chip manufacturer completly in upcoming X86 cross license negotiations.
