Expect delays or high prices for 20nm GPUs

"Apple is working with TSMC at 20 nanometers," said Gus Richard, a chip analyst at Piper Jaffray, referring to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's most advanced 20-nanometer (nm) manufacturing process.

...


Of course, a seismic shift like this -- Apple consumes probably more chips than any single consumer device maker in the world right now -- can have a profound impact on other TSMC customers. "TSMC has allocated a disproportionate amount of resources to Apple. And has pushed out other [TSMC customers] in the process," Richard said.


Ugh, freaking Apple is going to eat a ton of TSMC 20nm capacity. If you thought the TSMC 40nm GPU shortage was bad, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

Apple is being a baby and taking their ball home by walking away from Samsung lol.

I can't wait until Samsung and Nvidia unveil Tegra4 and Apple cries foul cause they can't have it.

So high prices would still be AMD's fault right? Even if they launched first with no competition? Just checking...

I know, I know, nVidia will launch their low end to compete with AMD's high end...and then definitely...for sure...absolutely no question they will launch their REAL high end and blow our socks off right? At high prices of course. 😛

Oh come on, on a thread topic like this, we (PC gamers) should all have common ground in common hatred of Apple soaking up 20nm wafers. Take that fratricidal rabble-rousing elsewhere. 🙂
