ATI Ramps Up Manufacturing of Graphics Processors

ATI, graphics products group of Advanced Micro Devices, has reportedly boosted its orders to manufacturers of its graphics processors, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and United Microelectronics Corp. The increase of orders may mean that the company anticipates rising demand of graphics cards or may indicate that AMD does not have a lot of products left in stock.

ATI ordered less than 2 thousand wafers to TSMC and UMC back in January and February, but doubled volume to 4-5 thousand wafers in March, according to a report from Commercial Times news-paper (the article was partly translated by DigiTimes web-site). However, AMD is expected to place orders for 8-9 thousand wafers at TSMC and UMC in April and 10 thousands in May.
