AMD Zen+ 7nm “Gray Hawk” APU To Be Out In 2019 | 4 Cores, 8 Threads & 10W, Reports say

As Wccftech is reporting , AMD is working on a new set of APUs code named “Gray Hawk” to introduce in 2019 on Globalfoundries’ recently announced 7nm FinFET process. This next generation family of high performance Accelerated Processing (APUs) Units will feature up to 4 Zen+ cores and 8 threads at 10 watts. Powering the graphics will be an integrated “Navi” GPU with performance and power efficiency advancements. Wccftech

AMD 7 nm commitment:

GLOBALFOUNDRIES CEO Sanjay Jha :

“The industry is converging on 7nm FinFET as the next long-lived node, which represents a unique opportunity for GLOBALFOUNDRIES to compete at the leading edge. We are well positioned to deliver a differentiated 7nm FinFET technology by tapping our years of experience manufacturing high-performance chips, the talent and know-how of our former IBM Microelectronics colleagues and the world-class R&D pipeline from our research alliance. No other foundry can match this legacy of manufacturing high-performance chips.”

Dr. Lisa Su, president and CEO, AMD :

“Leading-edge technologies like GLOBALFOUNDRIES 7nm FinFET are an important part of how we deliver our long-term roadmap of computing and graphics products that are capable of powering the next generation of computing experiences,” said . “We look forward to continuing our close collaboration with GLOBALFOUNDRIES as they extend the solid execution and technology foundation they are building at 14nm to deploy high-performance, low-power 7nm technology in the coming years.”

Realistically speaking Globalfoundries’ 7nm FinFET will be much closer to Intel’s 10nm. Timing-wise, they’re expected to be available around the same time. In fact the entire industry, including Intel, TSMC & Globalfoundries, will soon approach the closest they have ever gotten to parity. Suffice to say it’s going to be a significant event. It means that Intel will have to face tougher competition than it had in the past decade. And that alone will be among its biggest upcoming challenges.

AMD CEO: AMD focus is on bringing new products to market

Lisa Su, Advanced Micro Devices CEO, talks with CNBC’s Jon Fortt about the company’s quarterly results, growth strategy and competition with Intel.

The gains will build on a strong growth for AMD, which has seen its share price rise by more than 67 percent since the beginning of the year.

“It’s been a good start to 2018,” Lisa Su, AMD CEO said on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street. She noted the success of their Ryzen line of notebooks and the general strength of the PC market. “I’m very optimistic about what we can do in the notebook business.”

The strong sales come ahead of what Su calls “the big season for notebooks,” including the back-to-school period and the holidays. “We believe that this is a multi-quarter growth story for us.”
