AMD might/should consider dropping TSMC for some of their lineups if they actually want to capture market share. There's no use for their good processors if you cant even buy them in the first place!
... Your idiot self does realize that ALL upcoming Intel products use TSMC 3nm (even MORE expensive & supply limited than Strix Point's 4nm!), right??? 🤦😑
Pre-release Lunar Lake laptop pricing looks even WORSE than AMD Strix Point laptop pricing.
And AMD doesn't need to ditch TSMC (who has the only legitimately completive silicon on Earth atm). They need to keep the strategy both them and now Intel have adopted where the latest chips are only used for high end parts, while last-gen chips on an older node fill in the entry to mid-range.
The era when new generations of chips went all the way from enthusiast flagships down to entry level budget parts is officially over, and it's never coming back. 🤷
