傳言AMD即將出售德國晶圓廠給台積電!?
 

AMD in talks to sell fab to TSMC, says report

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) is holding discussions about selling its new Fab 38 plant in Germany to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC), according to a report. The report comes from Barron's, which sites Jefferies & Co. analyst John Lau as its source.


''We had heard this speculation before but those talks were deadlocked on approval by German officials,'' he writes in the report. ''We now hear that the talks are on again, probably with greater clarity from the German authorities and further review of AMD's outsourcing strategies.''


AMD has been one of the largest international investors in Germany during the previous decade. Total investment in the Dresden site, including Fab 30, Fab 36, and the Dresden Design Center, was approximately $ 5 billion by the end of 2006.

In its semiconductor facilities Fab 30 and Fab 36, AMD manufactures its processor families. AMDs newest fabrication facility will come online through a major transformation of the company's existing Fab 30, which will be named Fab 38.

Fab 30 is a 200-mm plant, which will be converted to a 300-mm fab in 2009 or so. The transition from 200-mm to 300-mm wafers allows for more than twice as many processors on a wafer.

據傳AMD正在恰談將德國晶圓廠出售給台積電
目前卡在德國官方政府不願批准

評論:
準備要收攤了吧

AMD賣個8吋廠就要收攤, 會不會太早下台啦?

Fab 36.好像是K7時代.生產銅制程處理器的廠.很時候很搶手.

AMD收攤的話, 各位可以等下一次五年後的CPU升級了...

天呀...........我真的超怕AMD倒掉 :nonono: :nonono:

其實我以前就有一個想法,因為intel是全地球上最大的CPU design廠+製程最強的大怪獸
AMD縱使設計能力在強,緊繃也只能跟他在同時脈下效能打平

另一方面,RISC CPU team大抵上只剩下Sun跟IBM還有實質上的team在,那不如把
整個AMD + Sun RISC team + IBM RISC team = new AMD

用這個new AMD 一起去跟intel對打,反正Sun跟IBM這好幾年來的獲利根本就不是靠RISC在賺(Sun去年整間公司還是虧損勒),與其讓RISC team閒置(或是說單打獨�**�獄礞@丁點錢),不如三家公司一起合作(或是相關team整合)把AMD x86 CPU市場繼續壯大

當然這是很天馬行空的想法啦 :flash:

這樣也不錯ㄚ
這樣算台積電加入IBM-AMD陣營

勢必要賣的~到幾年後18吋晶圓廠
動輒佰億美金的設廠費用
全球沒幾家玩的起喔。
專心研發吧~把生廠的事交給台積電就對啦。

很怕看到BENQ 西門子 的事件
再次發生啊......
TSMC 買這個有什麼好處?

德國廠，某年歐洲大淹水不知道有沒有遭殃(應該是沒有，不然那時候Intel可屌翻天了)

AMD千金難買早知道(台灣話就是被ATI高層拐去了) :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
