   UMC & TSMC make chips for companies like ATI or nVIDIA who don't have fabrication plants. AMD will be moving its Athlon ( TBred / Barton ) series to TSMC & only Hammer CPUs will be manufactured in their Dresden fab.TSMC is having a lot of trouble with their 0.13 process, which is why nVIDIA was late with the NV30 & also why ATI decided to do the R9700 Pro in a 0.15 process.

From what I've read of interviews etc., they'd allways planned the R300 for .15... The RV350 will be their first .13 part.... Not even the R350 will be .013.... With that in mind I doubt they changed their plans from .13 to .15... Especially since there are quite a few differences between design for .15 and .13....
