MC2 Post 1218 AMD's move out of fabs was a terrible idea

Last week AMD finally got shot of GlobalFoundaries and no longer had any connection with any fabrication plant. Instead, it has the option to shop where ever it liked.

But it is starting to seem that thefFabless chipmakers might not be getting the sorts of deals they expected and AMD might be joining a crowd of designers who can't get foundries to do what they  are told.

Problems with yields at 28nm might have pushed AMD to lose patience with GloFlo but there are indications that other fabs are having the same problems.
