I am posting here because the AMD thread gives continuous server error 500.
Before Rory departure, my sources said me that K12/Zen was going to be made on 14FF and Keller was happy with the new node. However, AMD's SVP & CFO has announced that AMD will finally use 28nm for K12

And if K12 is 28nm then I assume that Zen will be as well.
Adds that the AMD tablet project was silently canceled a week ago and that Carrizo D/E is in the air, and the conclusion is that AMD doesn't have a winning strategy for the future.
AMD doesn't have plans/projects for phones or tablets. The new 28nm K12/Zen will be uncompetitive on laptops and servers against 14/16nm parts. AMD has currently abandoned HEDT to Intel, and there is no short term plans for supercomputers. The promised new semicustom wins are never announced. What market remain to AMD? The desktop GPU division, which even AMD admits is not in good shape? The semicustom division, which will only provide about 3 billions on revenue on next years? Is this the end of AMD?
