Before starting, the sources themselves included these stories as rumors because only one of their sources had said what should have been a major agreement between both parties, so, we have taken it as such.
But if it's really true, Intel is asking for help, and that's it 1.5 billion dollars Investment to increase processor production has never, in some way, been enough for the industry. This blue giant is facing a fierce competition from the AMD / TSMC binomial, so according to sources, he thinks device and stop producing two product lines in your Fabs as designated by concrete.
Although revenue has broken records too, this doesn't seem like enough for the company's new bosses and they now plan to deal with their rivals joining forces with old enemies.
Intel / GlobalFoundries vs AMD / TSMC: new war still standing?
As if she were an angry old girl, GlobalFoundries (formerly part of AMD) looks like it's responsible for taking the cat to the deep sea of Intel processors. The company is currently focusing more on its efforts to increase its production capacity by an astonishing 25%, when investment figures at this time have not yet been disclosed.
But this is not enough and you should seek the help of a direct competitor who also works for the competition to produce two lines of figurative product until you can find the rhythm and power of the output.
GF is in the process of maturity and the relatively inexpensive cost of its plates to 14 and 16 nm, where they benefit the most from AMD, where even the first 12 nm of Lisa Su & # 39; s treatment starts.
But why didn't Intel go to Samsung and yes to GF? TSMC is currently unable to deliver things to many manufacturers, because it is equally frustrated and joins casuistry with Samsung but not with GF: its factories outside the United States.
Moments are Intel's key
GlobalFoundries is based in the same country with Intel & # 39; s main Fabs for Celeron
Rumors continue and start producing a wave that confirms the potential difference in a few years of the production team with the CPU design, an organization very similar to what AMD did then and GF itself and that it now pays tribute TSMC.
Are we at the beginning of the end for Intel as a launch and R&D upgrade for its processors? and surely this move will be enough to fulfill the need 14 nm and be able to arrive on your own time 10 nm at the desk?
