Is it at all likely that TSMC 5nm LP is made on different equipment than AMD's reported 5nm node? I'm not saying reconfiguring (parts of) a fab configured to 5nm LP to AMD's 5nm "HP"(?) would be trivial, but it doesn't sound impossible either. It's not like they're building a new fab for this node.I was referring to the 5nm node capacity left over from Huawei at "launch". Which is only LP node.
Unless AMD decide to use 5nm node on its Mobile APU at 5nm's launch ( i.e Expensive ) . Which I think ( I may be wrong, I thought we are talking about Zen 3 ) is not the issue we were discussing.
It is important to note this is launch capacity, which is the tight spot. There are not issues once you move past launch phases, market seems to have infinite appetite for wafers.
