    "And given TSMC’s roadmaps, it’s more or less inevitable that this will be the point where AMD begins using an EUV-based process for their GPUs, as AMD has indicated that this year’s RDNA 2 will not be using TSMC’s EUV-based 7nm+ process."

    This is a little surprising, considering they mentioned 7nm+ for RDNA 2 on all prior roadmaps. The same applies to Zen 3, too.

    read other coverages, u will understand.

    You do realise they also mentioned 14nm+ which doesn't exist and is ultimately 12LP right? How is it surprising when they previously mentioned 14nm+ and 7nm+ in the same PPT, 14nm+ turned out to be not 14nm+ and 7nm+ is not N7+?

    There, you can see 14nm+ being mentioned in AMD official PPT and later turned out to be 12LP and 11LPP. Clearly indicating 14nm+ is merely refined 14nm which is exactly what 12LP and 11LPP are. So naturally 7nm+ is refined 7nm, which is N7P not N7+.

    I'm betting they'll drop GCN support, in either RDNA 2 or 3. That's got to be chewing up some die space, and all software should be running in RDNA mode, by that point.
