Global Foundries is still used as the northbridge chiplet inside modern AMD processors; only the CPU core chiplets are from TSMC. Global Foundries has sizable operations in Dresden, Germany. Interestingly, this was a major semiconductor supplier of the Eastern Block, prior the fall of the iron curtain. AMD placed their primary foundry in Dresden, likely for the infrastructure and technical knowledge. Global Foundries has decided that more money can be made at 14nm and above, than what is required for smaller process nodes.
