[sa]Global Foundries 28nm wafer spotted

28nm wafers that are not test structures

Global Foundries representatives would not talk about what chips were on that wafer, but they were definitely not the test SRAM structures that we saw in June. The new wafers were quite irregular in appearance, so they could be CPU or GPU chips, or they could be some very advanced test structures. Given the size ballparks at over 300mm^2, they are unlikely to be ARM cores, but they could be advanced SOCs based on ARM designs.

300mm^2 at 28nm!!

Wow, that would be a powerful chip, whatever it may be. That's bigger than i7, which is a pretty big chip.

bulldozer is set for 32nm, hd6000's are set for 28nm.

the 28nm is due later than 32nm obviously, but is ahead of schedule. with any luck, once they get it sorted enough for IBM to make their superchips on then we'll get a 28nm bulldozer shrink.
