GlobalFoundries company recently admitted that already has prototypes of 14-nm production AMD, issued using a variety of process technology 14LPP FinFET. Today it turned out that the samples of processors with Zen architecture is not among them. However, the pace of 14-nm technology development using FinFET-transistor by GlobalFoundries AMD management is quite pretty, if you believe the revelations CFO Devindera Kumar in the technology conference Raymond James.
The bulk of the commercially available AMD products currently using 28-nm process. Nevertheless, the company already has several projects with digital products that will be produced using a FinFET-structures. It is expected that the 16-nm process will focus TSMC, 14-nm process will be engaged in GlobalFoundries. The distribution of orders between two contractors Financial Officer AMD called harmonious and balanced. He also admitted that the hybrid processors for game consoles Sony and the Microsoft company receives from both contractors - GlobalFoundries and TSMC.
Revenue from the FinFET-production AMD will start receiving in 2016 - at the same time will be expanded and production.
