AMD is still locked into an agreement to buy wafers from GloFo that dates back to their spinoff, and the chiplet design allows them to use GloFo 14nm for the I/O die which helps to satisfy some of their wafer purchasing requirements.

It's a massive win all around.

Just to be a little more clear - I believe the original lock-in agreement with GF has expired, but they negotiated a new one. So they have an agreement about chip purchasing, but they aren't still in the agreement from the spinoff.
