Which if true would suggest AMD think TSMC is better. We can guess they have no choice but to use some GloFo 14nm to fulfil the wafer contract, so why use any TSMC as that means designing chips for a whole other node, an expensive and time consuming process? If GloFo could make the big gpu's surely that would be all they need?
my guess is tsmc for things like their ARM opteron. GPU and Zen are already confirmed 14nm afaik
I'd be surprised if their GPUs were on different processes. worrying about volume wouldn't justify that and who is to say TSMC is better for the big chips? its still a new process. If they are both too risky then maybe. But the best I think would be things like console APUs and ARM processors for a different process.
