7-nm to Be the Next Long Node for AMD

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is moving fast on its product and process technology ramp. It has started volume production of its Zen Plus PC processors on Global Foundries’ 12-nm (nanometer) node and is set to start volume production on 7-nm nodes in 2019. At the JPMorgan Global Technology, Media, and Communications Conference, AMD’s chief executive officer, Lisa Su, stated that unlike the 14-nm node, which started with PCs and then server processors, the seven-nm node would start with server processors and then move to PCs.
