    The new foundrys main competition will be its former Chartered partners and such. The small fish in the pond.
    Which is the reason why AMD's 45 is now Volume, while TSMC's 40 (essentially killed off 45) needs next Q2 to do that?

    I thought we were talking about advancement.

    If TSMC's 40 is ready, ATI would have jumped to it. Yet RV740 is not taped out yet. Shanghai taped out eons ago (pre-TLB).

    Simple as that.

    I think that AMD has already announced that 45nm K10 are already producing and are in validation in many OEM that want to use Shangai CPU.
    AMD looks at least 6 months ahead TSMC.
