I'm guessing the "working with ST" means the fabs at ST Microelectronics? Also, the slide only mentions the specific process technology of FD-SOI. Is there a confirmation that this is also 28nm? Or is it going to use more mature 40nm with the FD-SOI making up the gap between competitors moving to the smaller node?
To my knowledge there has been 130nm, 65nm, 45nm, 32nm SOI as full nodes. This is the first time I am openly seeing a half-node SOI at 28nm if you exclude the now cancelled roadmaps of Bulldozer successors like Terramar and Sepang.
AMD likely can find a new fab partner for its MPUs if u ask me ;-)

Who is ST-E? I looked it up on Wikipedia, and it came up blank.murray13 - Tuesday, February 28, 2012 - link
It's ST Ericsson.Just look at the logo in the pic and then look at their website.
