Beats me. A portrayal of AMDs flex-capacity at Chartered not long ago (04/05-timeframe) indicated there is limitations. I'd expected it shown at capacity of the foundry-fab running at 110% utilization, 100% yields, and for current design fabbed in a node three years later if there were no limitations. ;)
re: It has come to my attention that the agreement I referred to expired some time ago. A new agreement was negotiated but it is likely that the original restriction no longer applies.
Meaning that there is no restriction or a different one?
Just listened to the Chartered Call and learned they plan to expand their fab7 to 45k wspm versus previous plans of 30k wspm. To be executed on after 65nm is ready next year. Customer demand, they say. (But not which Customer(s) :) )
