> TSMC N4

Question: Am I understanding this correctly that AMD will be using a node size from TSMC that’s 2-years old, but in a way it’s kind of older.

Because N4 was like a “N5+” (and the current gen is “N3+”).

EDIT: why the downvotes for a question?



Yes, AMD is not using the leading-edge node. The older node is cheaper/has better yield and more importantly has much larger supply than N3, which Apple has likely completely devoured.

I am personally very curious how it compares vs Intel's 15th gen, which is rumored to be on Intel 20 process.
