Latest TSMC news

  • AMD share price stumbles 14.4 percent

    Niles also pointed out that AMD has switched to TSMC for much of its production, which means Intel doesn’t have much of an edge in manufacturing. GlobalFoundries (GloFo)  is still in the game and AMD is sitting on six years worth of high-volume, low-margin console deals.
  • Intel can buy the stairway to heaven

    Gwennap uses a case study of the fairly routine shrink from 40nm LP to 28nm LP, TSMC and other foundries rolled out high-k metal-gate (HKMG) technology, which reduced leakage power.
  • TSMC reiterates 450mm push

    Foundry-for-hire TSMC has reiterated plans to build its first 450mm wafer plant by 2017.
  • Why does everyone want to buy AMD?

    CommentHowever, AMD owns 10,525 approved patents and a sizable share of TSMC's 28 nm production capacity that Qualcomm needs. Like the other rumours Qualcomm would benefit from AMD's graphics know-how. Qualcomm owns AMD's former Imageon technology but it could do with some more.
  • TSMC's first quarter profit up 18 percent

    TSMC has wrapped up yet another stellar quarter. The chipmaker’s profit rose 18 percent year-on-year to NT$39.6 billion ($1.3bn). As usual, strong demand for smartphone and tablet chips helped boost TSMC’s profitability.
  • Unholy Trinity face a rude awakening

    CommentAs an industry veteran, I have met most of the characters in the Soap Opera that Jerry Sanders III described as the Holy Trinity.  I first met Gates in 1986 when I worked for a software company – in those pre-makeover days you really had to watch out for the dandruff.
  • TSMC sales up 18.9 percent on year

    TSMC, the world’s biggest foundry for hire, has seen its sales surge 18.9 percent in March from a year earlier, Reuters reports.
  • Quarter of wafer capacity dedicated to sub 40nm processes

    Intel is already at 22nm, while other foundries are still at 28nm, although TSMC and Globalfoundries are rather upbeat when it comes to their 20nm transition.
  • TSMC might rain on Samsung’s parade

    TSMC’s 20nm process is apparently ahead of schedule. | Focus Taiwan reports TSMC will open its first commercial 20nm facility, dubbed Fab 14, on April 20. This is a couple of months ahead of schedule and the new process will allow TSMC to maintain its lead for quite a while.
  • TSMC and ARM tape out first ARM Cortex A57 chip

    TSMC and ARM have taped out the first Cortex A57 processors built using FinFET process technology.
  • Taiwan chip makers respond to Samsung threat

    The world’s largest semiconductor foundry – Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) – is ready to react to threats to its business from Korean giant Samsung.
  • Samsung wants to kill Taiwan

    Samsung is taking a page out of the Chinese communist playbook, as it apparently wants to kill Taiwanese competitors like Hon Hai and TSMC.
  • 3D IC market to see stable growth through 2016

    According to Infiniti Research, the biggest 3D IC vendors at the moment are Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE), Samsung., STMicroelectronics and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC). IBM, Elpida, Intel and Micron are also working on products based on 3D ICs.
  • Apple might tap Snapdragon SoC for cheap iPhone

    However, things could be about to change. According to Apple Insider, Apple could use Snapdragon chips in its rumoured low cost iPhone. Qualcomm’s 28nm chips are built by TSMC rather than Samsung and they are very competitive indeed.
  • Intel expands foundry operations

    Intel's manufacturing technology will give Altera's chips a several-year advantage against its rival Xilinx. However, Altera will continue to make other chips with TSMC, its long-time foundry partner.
  • Qualcomm, TSMC unveil 28nm HPM chips

    Qualcomm and TSMC are teaming up to produce silicon on TSMC's High Performance Mobile process technology, which they boast can support 2GHz+ application processors at low power.
  • Nvidia rolls out LTE enabled Tegra 4i, reference phone

    All this apparently forced Nvidia to revise its Tegra roadmap, so the company brought the Grey (Tegra 4i) launch forward by a few months. In spite of similar branding, the Tegra 4i has very little in common with Tegra 4, codenamed Wayne.
  • Semiconductor inventory reaches record levels

    The PC market remains slow and hopes of a Windows 8 renaissance have turned into a nightmare. Bellwether Intel saw its revenue drop three percent in Q4, with profit tumbling 27 percent, and the trend is set to continue.
