AMD 28nm Temash and Kabini APUs still made by TSMC

FUD Zilla claims AMD's upcoming 28nm Temash and Kabini APUs are still made by TSMC because GlobalFoundries couldn't make it in time.

The issues will hopefully disappear in the future as the Fab 8 in Malta, New York State is doing some test wafers at 20nm and 14nm. However, we were surprised to learn from AMD and people close to the matter that the company is making both of its 28nm Temash and Kabini APUs at TSMC.

They are both expected in Q2 2013, probably around Computex time, or early June 2013. GlobalFoundries is expected to design some 20nm and 14nm for AMD and let’s hope that both AMD and GlobalFoundries will have better luck with 20nm products.
