I-TSMC ukuqala ukukhiqizwa ngobuningi kwama-nanometer ayishumi ngokuphela konyaka

I-TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited), inkampani esebenza ne-Apple futhi eyakhele i-A10 Fusion chip enamandla i-iPhone 7, ikuqinisekisile ukukhiqizwa ngobuningi kwama-nanometer chips ayishumi ukuze amakhasimende ayo aqale ekupheleni konyaka, idlula i-Intel ngokuya ngamadivayisi we-silicon asebenza kahle.

I-Intel izoqala ukukhiqiza ama-chips angama-nanometer ayishumi engxenyeni yesibili ka-2017.

Ekhuluma engqungqutheleni yezobuchwepheshe edolobheni elisenyakatho neTaiwan iHsinchu, isikhulu seTSMC uMarcos Liu uthe inkampani yakhe isanda kuqala, ngohlelo lwayo locwaningo nentuthuko (R&D), sebenza kubuchwepheshe obunqenqemeni ukudala i-chip-gauge chip.

Isisekelo se-semiconductor sizophinde siqale ngokukhiqizwa kwesivivinyo sama-chips angama-nanometer ayisikhombisa ngamanani amancane kwikota yokuqala yonyaka ka-2017. babele onjiniyela abangaba ngu-300 kuya ku-400 ukuba bakhe ubuchwepheshe bama-nanometer amathathu.

Futhi, I-TSMC okwamanje iphenya inqubo ye-nanometer emibili.

Isabelomali se-R & D se-TSMC sikhuphuke kakhulu sisuka ku- $ 690 million ngo-2009 saya ku- $ 2,1 billion ngo-2015. Ngonyaka ophelele ka-2016, isabelomali se- $ 10 billion sabelwa izindleko zemali.

I-TSMC yakha i-chip ye-A9 kanye ne-Samsung futhi ikhiqiza kuphela i-chip yakamuva ye-A10 Fusion ye-iPhone 7 kunqubo yayo ye-nanometer eyi-16. Le nkampani iphinde inamahlebezi okuthi ithole inkontileka yokwakha ama-A11 chips ngo-2017. esizukulwaneni esisha se-iPhone.

Kukholakala nokuthi i-Apple ingaqala ukushintsha ama-Intel chips kuma-MacBook ayo ngobuchwepheshe be-TSMC eminyakeni ezayo, kancane kancane njengoba bekulokhu kwenziwa nge-iPhone ne-iPad.
