Ultra-micro brewing in 2019 to fully counter the Intel (Intel) server Processor Market key campaign, determined by the 7 NM process code Rome EPYC processor, against the Intel 14 Nano process Xeon chip, micro-process generation to emerge from the unique advantages, In addition to the TSMC 7 nanometer process capacity full assists, 2019 has the opportunity in the server processor city occupies a map of the city, the former Opteron server processor city accounted for 20% of the brilliant record. In addition to its x86 processor into the production of TSMC, GlobalFoundries will also be fully Olling, the future of micro-still retain some of the 7 nano-process consumer products and some of the GPU in globalfoundries production, The Ultra micro will be the key server chip to the production of TSMC, to ensure that the quality of products and reduce the risk of supply, after all, in 2019, the comprehensive counterattack campaign, no longer wait for the GlobalFoundries 7 nm process. Compared with Intel's 10 NM process development, the ultra short term is beaming, not only handing over the brightest earnings of the year, but also planning to accelerate the production of the second generation of Zen processors while the Intel advanced process is Waterloo. Micro CEO Lisa Su confirmed that the second-generation EPYC server processor (code-named Rome) will be produced by TSMC in 7 nm process, is currently in the sample, is expected to be shipped in the 2019, when the battle is still trapped in the 14 nanometer process of Intel. Although the micro has previously revealed that TSMC and old partner GlobalFoundries will be responsible for producing 7 NM products, now that the division of labor has been identified, TSMC has made an unprecedented move to take the order of the hyper-server processor, which is quite different from the OEM production arrangement for the Zen first generation processor. Ultra-micro first generation Zen CPU includes 14 nm Zen, 12 nm zen+, and 14 nm EPYC CPU Code Naples processor, whether it is a consumer ryzen chip or professional EPYC processor, are entrusted to the GlobalFoundries responsible for manufacturing, However, the 7-nanometer generation of the first server products EPYC CPU code Rome, will instead rely on the TSMC 7 nano process capacity. Since the super-differential demolition of Deles wafer factory manufacturing units, by GlobalFoundries after the takeover, GlobalFoundries has been the preferred micro-CPU foundry Partners, although the ultra micro-Kabini and Temash chip has been manufactured in the TSMC, However, it is an emergency support nature, these chips were originally designed in the GlobalFoundries wafer plant production, and then transferred to the TSMC production system due to the globalfoundries yield problem. TSMC's past partnership with the Ultra Micro most of them are for the Super micro-generation gaming machine SOC semi-customized chip, there is no large x86 structure of the main CPU chip order into the bag, the micro is obviously quite satisfied with the previous results of TSMC's cooperation, now the 2019 main server processor to the TSMC volume production. Although the wafer generation agreement of Ultrafine and GlobalFoundries must reach a certain degree of wafer quota and production level, it is still free to allocate its resources and capital expenditure to other wafer-foundry industry, and to devote 7 NM resources to TSMC, has not chosen the long-standing partner GlobalFoundries, is quite surprised the industry unexpectedly.
