AMD Polaris 30 GPU made at both GlobalFoundries and Samsung
The 12nm FinFET manufacturing process from GlobalFoundries, also known as 12LP, is quite similar to Samsung's 11LPP, as both are derived from the original 14nm FinFET process, there shouldn't be any difference between these chips, at least not on paper.
This also means that AMD might use Samsung for its future chips, .. the first 7nm parts [are] coming from TSMC, and with GlobalFoundries sticking to 12nm [not making 7nm parts], Samsung might be the logical choice [for some 7nm parts].
