Taiwan-based ASMedia has announced is has signed contracts with AMD for a partnership, but no details were disclosed about the relationship except that the projects are related to next-generation chipset technology, according to a company post on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE).
The partnership has advanced further with an outsourcing of R&D for the whole chipset. Since most PC chipset functionality has already been integrated into the CPU, outsourcing chipset R&D to ASMedia should help AMD save costs and resources and allow the CPU maker to focus on developing APU and semi-customized products.
