In the second half of the year Globalfoundries, with the support of the traditional Technology donor IBM , Fab 8 will start production of chips on 32 nm technology using HKMG. In the future we plan to make the transition to 28 nm technology
In particular, the head of AMD Rory Reid said that some samples of chips produced in close collaboration with several partners from IBM to Globalfoundries. His colleagues took this information as a direct allusion to the production of hybrid CPU Trinity power with the assistance of IBM. I must say that in the early stages of technological processes development , AMD had resorted to the services of IBM, and a new factory Globalfoundries is located in one region with the laboratories and factories IBM.
It is considered that the problem with the 28 nm process technology forced AMD and Globalfoundries to abandon the production of hybrid processors Krishna and Wichita this year.
