AMDs been buying 7nm wafers from TSMC for two years now. They should be better equipped to meet demand, or at least more knowledgeable from experience about what kind of supply they can field.

Not sure how in the world they plan on supplying both their new cpu and gpu series with a holiday season launch, though.

Exactly. On the one hand they are well established with TSMC, on the other hand, they are trying to meet demand for both CPUs and GPUs simultaneously.

Who knows what they'll decide from a business perspective? I wonder how the margins compare between CPUs and GPUs? They could, say, plan on limiting their higher end GPU SKUs which gives them temporary bragging rights in the GPU space but reserves capacity for CPUs.

And Xbox and PS5!
