TSMC begins construction of new $9.3b foundry

[Wreckage]

Semiconductors built there will also be suitably modern, with 40nm and 28nm production facilities being installed

Hmm... I thought I read somewhere about 32nm being skipped. I wonder if this confirms it.


EDIT: Ooops thought I put the link there. Updated.

Lol, I hate when Tweakboy and Wreckage make threads because its so tempting to hit the "view post" button. Fortunately the backspace button is a lot easier to find than that small text button.

A hell of a lot of stuff.

It may surprise you to know that 40nm isn't the biggest share, or even close to it. All their older fabs are still producing a lot of stuff.
Not everything is produced on bleeding edge fabs, especially when it doesn't need to be.
