Is Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) switching silicon foundry camps amid losses and dwindling market share? Reports have surfaced that AMD and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC) have signed a major foundry deal in the microprocessor sector.

In a research note, FBR said that TSMC may boost its capital spending after "winning high-end CPU biz from AMD." Under the plan, TSMC would make 45-nm processors on a foundry basis for AMD, with "volume ramp in 2Q '08," according to the firm.
