This leaves AMD completely dependent on a single company for all its (future) manufacturing.
- slededit 8y agoYes but the massive losses at GloFlo validate their sale of it. They don't have the volume alone to support an advanced node, and apparently GloFlo doesn't even with additional customers. Intel itself is also having huge issues here, but its arguable their huge market share means it still makes sense to own a fab. If AMD takes a decent slice of their market then it will come into question there as well. I don't think they have the stomach to sell their fab business and from what I've heard its so different from the mainstream fabs that its not easy for designs to get ported.
