Once financial analysts already stated about the hypothesis, according to which AMD will release Fusion processor with technical process without SOI by TSMC company . Similar processors could fill the niche in the budget market segment . Recently AMD gave to understand that it does not hurry to make the processor and graphic cores in one packing.
However, this did not prevent analysts ( JP morgan ) from reporting that TSMC could sign contract with AMD for the production of processors fusion on 45 nm technology. Now these processors already take qualification tests to the stage of early models.
According to the forecasts Of JP morgan, in the first quarter 2008 , TSMC can begin the production of fusion processors ; however, on the market they will appear not earlier than the end of 2008 or beginnings of 2009. Honestly speaking, such forecasts seem excessively optimistic. First, TSMC still does not manage this level of 45 nm technology in order to create complex hybrid processors directly now. In the second place, the propagation of fusion processors can begin not earlier than 2009. Now AMD is lost in the determination of processors data status , preferring to conduct the washed away conversations about the integration at the system level. One way or another, the version Of JP morgan can be taken in consideration.
