    Possible TSMC 16nm FF+ AMD GPUs?

    https://www.techpowerup.com/224659/s...nfet-from-tsmc
    "Microsoft's new slim Xbox One S console achieves its slimness - including its inbuilt power-supply, by significantly reducing thermal load of its key components. This begins at the heart of the console, its SoC. A semi-custom chip by Microsoft and AMD, the SoC powering the Xbox One S is built on the 16 nm FinFET process at TSMC. The chip powering the original Xbox One was built on the same foundry's 28 nm node......"

    So AMD and MS have made the new Xbox One S SOC on TSMC 16nm FF+ so this means that AMD does have GPU libraries and building blocks already made for TSMC's 16nm FF+ which brings the real possibility of Vega or other gpu's being made at TSMC 16nm FF+ allowing higher clock speeds at the cost of die size compared to GF\Samsungs 14nm LPP. Another interesting thought is that this also means that AMD has Puma core libraries and blocks for TSMC's 16nm FF+. This is just what I am taking from reading the TPU article.
