GlobalFoundries-owned semiconductor manufacturer AMD is rumoured to be working with Tesla, following comments made by CEO Sanjay Jha at a recent conference in Santa Clara. Jim Keller, former chipmaker at GlobalFoundries, was also spotted at Tesla recently, sparking speculation. The partnership would alleviate Tesla's current reliance on Nvidia GPUs in its vehicles, allowing it to reduce costs, which in turn could help the firm meet its deadline of producing entirely self-driving cars by 2019.
