Intel to make chips for AMD?
- Thread starter Grim5
- Start date
Political strategy aside a potential win-win, at least in the short term, for AMD even at the risk of giving a struggling competitor a shot in the arm as they can probably negotiate good terms allowing them (AMD) to make ground as well (i.e. focus more of their production allocation on advanced profitable lines on products which need it and move those that don't to Intel).

Thing is, if I read it correctly and understand correctly; they wouldn't be putting products on those lines which are likely to suffer with the issues, they'd be either older 'mature' parts they want to keep manufacturing, but don't want to waste TSMC capacity on, or they'd be fringe/more experimental products which need production capacity that they didn't have available before, and again don't need the best of the best like the main top end server/HEDT/desktop stuff.
Realistically, the Intel issues were so widely publicised, they likely wouldnt put anything NEAR thier nodes of a profile likely to even risk hitting the failure points.
