DigiTimes reports AMD has expended its 40nm APU orders to TSMC. According to a report by Commercial Times, AMD hopes to secure all new capacity from TSMC's 12-inch fab, Fab 14's phase 4 facilities to resolve shortages of its Fusion processors:

Since strong demand for AMD's new 40nm Zacate and Ontario CPUs has caused supply for the two processors to tighten in both Europe and the US, plus AMD is preparing to push the APUs into China in March, the company has been aggressive resolving the shortage issue as well as building its inventory levels, the paper added.
