The crew at Driver Heaven managed to sit down and have a nice little chat today with John Byrne, AMD’s Vice President of Worldwide GPU and CPU sales. The topic of conversation? Radeon HD 5000 series shortages and what the company is doing to ramp production to meet demand. This information certainly jives with what we shared with you last week.
"Yes, we are impacted by TSMC's continued problems with production at the 40 nm process, however we feel we are tracking reasonably well to where we expected to be at this point, thanks in large part to our early start with 40 nm process technology with the ATI Radeon HD 4770. Yields for the ATI Radeon HD 5800 series, our most complex ASIC to date, are only slightly off from the aggressive targets we set. At the same time, we are actually tracking above target for the production of the ATI Radeon HD 5700 series.
