AMD has revised the agreement that binds to GlobalFoundries for the manufacture of its processors. The new contract should provide a greater incentive to improve yields GlobalFoundries for its 32 nm process. The future depends Bulldozer and Llano. In late 2008, AMD has posted its plants by placing them in the lap of a new company, GlobalFoundries.
Since then, AMD remains the biggest customer "GloFo" all its Phenom, Athlon, Sempron and Turion from it. GloFo must also make future Bulldozer and Llano. However, in August 2010, AMD reported that the yields achieved by GlobalFoundries unsatisfactory. This has forced AMD to postpone the launch of Llano APU and the APU advance Ontario (the famous Zacate who are on track to eclipse the Intel Atom netbooks).
The Ontario are manufactured by TSMC in 40nm. In 2011, AMD will therefore change the way it pays GlobalFoundries. AMD agrees to buy a predetermined number of wafers at 45 nm and 32 nm GloFo. The price of 45-nm wafer is attached, the 32 nm will be determined by the rate of good chips engraved.
AMD will pay in addition to a quarterly bonus if GloFo GloFo achieved its objectives of generating capacity. In total, AMD expects to pay GloFo between 1.1 and 1.5 billion for its wafers in 2011 and between 1.5 and 1.9 billion in 2012. AMD announced alongside a recipe you have saved 492 million dollars for his participation in the capital of GloFo due to the repurchase of GloFo by Chartered Semiconductor.
