AMD is already designing products for 14nm
AMD has announced that they have already been working on products based on the 14nm process during their company's earnings call meeting, held on January 20th. AMD have also been talking a lot about potential successes in 2015 after 2014 has come to a close, which had saw them lose $403 million dollars.
“We are actively designing a number of products in the 14nm FinFET process technology,” said Lisa Su, AMD's CEO
AMD has yet to specify which fab will be making AMD's future 14nm products, but we know that only Global Foundries and Samsung have been working on 14nm, with TSMC working in the larger 16nm node.
We do not know what products AMD have been working on, but it is likely to be low power or semi-custom APUs, as these seem to be the largest potential growth areas for AMD. We know AMD is making a large push on mobile devices, with their upcoming Carrizo and Carrizo-L APUs being targeted at low TDP environments. Hopefully AMD can make some wins in the Laptop and tablet markets.
