A source with Wccftech claims AMD is in the midst of renegotiating its Wafer Supply Agreement (WAF) with GlobalFoundaries, following the latter’s decision to relent on 7nm production. As the new terms are said to be “mutually beneficial” to both parties, the amendment could mean surplus cash for AMD, which the company could put into R&D. Overclockers Club has a summary of the current relationship, in which AMD has to pay a penalty to GloFlo if it doesn’t meet certain quotas or decides to purchase from another fab, such as TSMC.
I have been told that AMD is certain they will agree to the new terms that are “mutually beneficial” to both parties. Keep in mind, my source did not actually state that the terms would benefit AMD, just that they would be ‘mutually beneficial’ and they are fairly confident AMD will agree to them. This implies that we are probably looking at increased leniency (in the annual wafer quota) and even better terms for the company.
