AMD expects to be the first to introduce the first 28nm graphics processor

AMD is still very optimistic about the introduction of graphics processors based on 28nm technology this year. The company believes that the 28nm node will not only provide its opportunity to introduce advanced graphics processing chip "shortly", but also will be able to further reduce its production costs.

AMD has already begun sampling 28nm graphics processors and expects to launch a series of 28nm node-based graphics processors in the calendar year of 2011. In fact, AMD hopes to become the industry's first manufacturer to launch 28nm graphics processors, which means that AMD hopes to once again lead its rival NVIDIA in the 28nm node process, just as before in the 90nm, 80nm, 65nm , 55nm and 40nm node process transitions.

In a conference call with financial analysts a few days ago, AMD Interim CEO Thomas Seifert said: "We have completed related work internally and we expect to be another industry leading GPU series product by the end of this year. We expect to continue The 28nm transition is once again at the forefront of the GPU industry."

With the advanced 28nm high-k metal gate (HKMG) process, the performance of the new generation of GPUs will be further enhanced, while at the same time, the power consumption and product cost will be further reduced while improving the functions. At the same time, AMD expects its risks to be well controlled because AMD plans to hand over 28nm products to Globalfoundries and TSMC.

"All of our products at 28nm will be based on the Bulk process, and will provide greater flexibility for our two strong and valued partners. Our flexibility will also further enhance the risk management of foundry ecosystems." ."

Although AMD did not disclose when it will launch the first GPU products based on 28nm node technology, if no accidents, the actual date of its listing is likely to be earlier than the public expected. With the approaching of the 28nm product coming to market, it means that for AMD, it will have the opportunity to get more profits, just like the introduction of DirectX 11 products.
