PURE PLAY foundry TSMC has landed a deal to manufacture most of its graphics processors using a 65 nanometre process.

Dark Mayor, AMD's chief operating officer, said that TSMC's 65 nanometre tech is proven technology. The chips will have good thermal characteristics, provide extra bandwidth for overclocking, and function at high speed.

The TSMC tech uses copper interconnects and low-k dielectrics, a nine layer metal process with core voltages of 1 or 1.2 volts.

TSMC said it's bashed two million wafers for AMD, or rather to AMD-ATI combined. µ

Do you think the move was justified?
