AMD says its first 2 nm CPUs are now in production while Intel teases 10A and 7A chip silicon
… "AMD today announced that its next-generation AMD EPYC processor, codenamed Venice, is ramping production in Taiwan on TSMC’s advanced 2 nm process technology, with future plans to ramp production at TSMC’s Arizona fabrication facility," AMD said in a statement . …
AMD is putting $10 billion+ into Taiwan's AI chip industry
… Anyway, this new investment package is designed to support the deployment of AMD's Helios rack-scale platform in the second half of this year. The company also announced that itself and TSMC have "hit another major production milestone" with Venice Epyc CPUs ramping on TSMC 2nm technology in Taiwan. …
AMD's next-gen Zen 6 desktop CPU rumoured to it a blazing fast 6.5 GHz-plus
… AMD is on record saying that its upcoming next-gen EPYC server CPUs based on the Zen 6 architecture will be built on TSMC N2 . It doesn't automatically follow that AMD will also manufacture CPU dies for consumer desktop chips. …
Want a pair of TSMC-branded shoes, as modelled by C.C. Wei? Sorry, they're for employees only
… If you're a TSMC employee with an already-overflowing wardrobe, other options include an excellent-sounding "TSMC co-branded Tatung rice cooker." Said cooking implement will apparently have a mirrored silver TSMC logo on the lid, and a circuit-themed design. …
Intel's new Arc G could be the best handheld gaming chip, but will it keep driver updates coming?
… Still, you'd expect Medusa Point to make the move to at least TSMC N3 silicon, which would represent the first node shrink for an AMD APU since 2023. And even N3 should allow AMD to squeeze in a much more powerful iGPU. …
Intel is reportedly 'struggling' to supply laptop CPUs based on its new 18A node
… Instead, Culpan says the supply chain and most notably TSMC may be at least part of the explanation. As he points out, Intel's Panther Lake CPUs have CPU tiles built on the in-house 18A node. But the I/O tile is made by TSMC. …
Older Intel desktop chips could be in short supply as PC builders forced to buy new 18A chips
… Best overall: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 2. Best budget: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 3. Best mid-range: Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus 4. Best high-end: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D 5. Best AM4 upgrade: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D 6. …
Just when you thought the chip crisis couldn't get worse, TSMC looks set to increase prices
… So, if you really wanted to put a positive spin on things, you could say that TSMC is signalling that price increases for the chips it manufactures for customers, including Nvidia, AMD and Intel, won't escalate as catastrophically as memory and storage. …
AMD now owns 38.1% of the overall x86 CPU market but actually lost ground in desktop PCs
… AMD can't just make as many chips as it fancies on any give day, month or year. It farms out manufacture, mostly to Taiwanese fab TSMC, and that means signing forward contracts and, to an extent, being limited by TSMC's capacity. …
