Isn't AMD even bigger client of TSMC 5nm facilities than Apple?
- jjoonathan 6y agoI don't know about volume, but Apple sure has more margin. Outsourcing fabrication doesn't guarantee that you can choose the best fab, it just guarantees that you get to compete with Apple (and NVidia and, now, Intel) in a contest of "who can pay the most per chip."
- zamadatix 6y agoApple booked 80% of TSMC 5nm for 2021. AMD hasn't even started making 5nm CPUs this year while Apple has been shipping them to consumers since September of last year.
- Symmetry 6y agoCurrently AMD is only buying 7nm. It should have 5nm products this year but I'd be very surprised if it could match Apple's volume.
