AMD turns TSMC into a CPU manufacturing giant

[GoThr3k]

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.

But if they would optimize their process for performance we might see a good manufacturer. because an SRAM cell at that size is quite insane if you ask me. Maybe thats why all other specs are so bad in comparison to intel/AMD. But i am pretty sure if they would make a cpu or something else fusion like they would do that on a special developped process. Or a slightly more optimized process.

So actually TSMC is far from crap, it just has other objectives then AMD/intel
