AMD turns TSMC into a CPU manufacturing giant

[Shintai]

according to your picture TSMC has a tremendous advantage in producing SRAM cells?
i dont argue it's not that good as Intel's or AMD's processes, but it is far from garbage...

Advantage? In density yes. In performance no. TSMC optimises for cheap, not performance.

I would bet if you made say a Core 2 on their 65 or 45nm process it would barely break 2-2½Ghz and use alot of power. But it would be cheaper.
