It is Chinese.

Sina World News.

Unfortunately, I can only read about 10% of it, ie. not enough to understand it.

You know, this is probably the wrong forum for this :) (Yes I notice it's probably hardware related in what it has to say.)

Besides, you might have better luck posting this in Off Topic.

I can read the article,
basically the article just denies the report of nvidia transfering their production from taiwan semiconductor to IBM, but does not preclude the possiblity of using IBM as a second production source. Currently both IBM and taiwan semiconductor's 0.13 micron manufacturing quality are about the same. And IBM's labor costs twice as much, so there is no point in transfering. Also, nvidia has verified taiwan semicondutor's 0.13 micron manufacturing quality, and the full production of NV30 will start in a few weeks in order to demonstrate NV30 at comdex in november.
