Advanced Micro Devices on Tuesday confirmed for the first time that it is actively designing several chips that will be made using 14nm FinFET process technology. The announcement from AMD indicates that the company will manufacture its new chips either at GlobalFoundries or Samsung Electronics, not at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., which is a huge surprise.
“We are actively designing a number of products in the 14nm FinFET process technology,” said Lisa Su, chief executive officer of AMD, during a conference call with investors and financial analysts.

周二，AMD首次证实：正在积极的设计14纳米FinEFT工艺芯片。AMD公告表示，公司将会让GlobalFoundries或是三星电子制造而不是台积电，这是一个大惊喜。“我们正在积极设计一些14纳米FinFET工艺的产品”老苏在和投资者与金融分析师的电话会议里如是说。

TSMC, the world’s largest contract maker of semiconductors, will offer its customers 16nm FinFET and 16nm FinFET+ manufacturing technologies starting from Q3 2015. By contrast, GlobalFoundries and Samsung Electronics will use 14nm LPE (low power early) and 14nm LPP (low power plus) fabrication processes to produce chips for their clients. In fact, Samsung is already making semiconductors using 14nm LPE technology, whereas GlobalFoundries expects to start making 14nm chips sometimes in the first half of the year.

台积电，全球最大的半导体制造商，在2015年第三季度开始能够为客户提供16纳米FinFET（+）器件制造工艺。相比之下GlobalFoundries和三星将采用14纳米LPE（低功耗early）和14纳米LPP（低功耗加）制造工艺来生产芯片。事实上，三星已经在用14纳米LPE技术来制造半导体，而GlobalFoundries预计在今年上半年的某个时候开始制造14纳米芯片。

AMD did not reveal which of its chips will be made using 14nm FinFET fabrication process and which of the two technologies will be used. However, it is logical to expect the company to utilise various 14nm technologies for all types of its products, including accelerated processing units, central processing units, graphics processing units as well as semi-custom chips for various applications.

AMD并没有透露将会使用14纳米FinFET技术的芯片，也没有说明将会使用这两种技术中的哪一种。然而，公司针对各种产品选用不同的14纳米技术是合理的，包括APU、CPU、GPU和针对多种应用的定制半导体芯片。

Separately, AMD confirmed that it would reveal more details about its long-term roamdaps in the coming months at the financial analyst day.

另外，AMD确认，将会在下个月（这个月）的经济分析师日透露更多有关长期路线图（原文的词貌似打错了）的细节。

“Relative to timing on FinFET, we will be talking more about our long-term roadmaps at our financial analyst day,” said Ms. Su.

“相对于花在FinFET的时间，我们将在经济分析师日上花更长的时间去讨论我们的长期路线图”，老苏说。

KitGuru Says: If AMD plans to use 14nm FinFET instead of 16nm FinFET, this will mean that it will cut its orders to TSMC. This could be an alarming sign for TSMC since AMD is one of the largest customers of the company.

网站点评：如果AMD打算使用14纳米FinFET来代替16纳米FinFET，这将意味着台积电的订单将会削减。这可能是从AMD成为台积电最大客户以来的一个对台积电的危险信号

终于敲定了，看来R400要在ZEN之后出来

这是不是就意味着，更小的耗电量，更强的性能，更加Q的外观？

期待ZEN出来之后农企能出像LGA2011 socket那么大的高性能的apu
