Nvidia to be the first TSMC customer to run 55nm designs
With Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) announcing its readiness to begin production on 55nm process, sources at Taiwan motherboard makers noted that Nvidia is very likely to be the first customer to introduce production on this half node geometry.
Given its long established ties with TSMC, Nvidia started pilot runs on 55nm in early 2007 and samples should be available for customers in the second half of 2007, the sources detailed. The graphics chip maker should introduce 55nm in volume production in the first quarter of 2008, the sources added. A Chinese-language Commercial Times report also cited sources at equipment makers as saying that AMD has also started pilot runs on 55nm. Chips fabricated on 55nm are to hit the market in early 2008.
