In case you missed the original presentation, AMD just uploaded the part of their Next Horizon event where they discussed the upcoming use of 7nm process technology. AMD has traditionally stuck with their former internal fab, GlobalFoundries, for most chip designs, and they're reportedly still relying on GloFo for certain chips, like 2nd gen Epyc's 14nm I/O die. But for the most part, AMD is using Taiwan Semiconductor's bleeding edge 7nm process in their major upcoming products, like Ryzen CPUs, the recently released Radeon VII, and the long rumored Navi GPUs.
Check out AMD's talk on 7nm here.
AMD notes that they expected to achieve process parity with Intel this generation, but thanks to Intel's 10nm woes and a conspicuous lack of problems at TSMC's 7nm node, they've "unexpectedly" ended up ahead of their x86 competitors.
