it is difficult, especially after adding so many custom circuits for power saving. those will have to be completely redone, along with some other things. it is not easy to do and takes a lot of time.

also, when GF split from AMD they agreed that the gpu division's fab needs would transition to GF over time so they will be using global foundries.

both tsmc and gf have absurdly high wafer output for 28nm. i dont see that being a major issue.
