Until now, AMD has limited the use for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company capacities to it's graphics division, but from July on, we should see how more responsibilities are transferred to said company. Specifically, part of the CPU production it's expected to shift from AMD to TSMC.

According to sources in the sector, TSCM is already testing SOI manufacturing (Silicon On Insulator) that should allow them to get orders for the Fusion CPU.

The plan is: alleviate the load of the CPU production so some of their equipment may be sold, that should cover their goal to obtain benefits for the first half of 2009. What's not so clear is how their next goal of regaining a 30% market share will be achieved.
