AMD's Vega series GPUs are fabricated by GlobalFoundries on 14nm process, but Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has won the order from AMD to fabricate its NAVI GPUs using 7nm process technology. As TSMC is also keen on making deployments in advanced packaging technologies, it will continue to maintain coopetition relationships with local OSATs.
AMD should be able to get Navi out in H1 2019 with good yields and performance as TSMC 7nm builds on the successful 10nm ramp. Hopefully AMD can move to a multi die design like EPYC to maximize yields and improve cost.
