Say motherboard maker sources speaking to a Taiwanese IT industry journal.
Interesting news. I'm a little bit skeptical about the chipsets being designed by ASMedia, though. Wouldn't this be a first for them? Do they have the necessary knowhow?
AFAIK,the 300 series ones are also probably designed by the same company - it was announced nearly three years ago they would be handling chipset development for AMD:Quote:

They already did the current Ryzen chipsets, and have been in partnership with AMD since at least 2014. And yes, they do have the knowhow.Quote:

No. The two companies developed the 14nm process together though, so it is essentially the same process, but it was a joint development, not a case of GloFo cloning Samsung's process (or vice versa).Quote:

Same AM4 socket AFAIK.Quote:

One thing I guess we might see from AMD, once the HBC/HBCC structure starts being used properly - is multi-GPU cards where each GPU has a smaller local cache and the GPUs share a larger (but slower) on-card VRAM as well (e.g. each GPU has 4GB of local HBC and shared access to 16GB of GDDR5).
Intel, AMD, IBM, and other major chip makers are all talking of 10nm to 5nm, but what will happen after 5nm?
