Default [Xbit] TSMC’s 40nm Revenues Quadruple in the Third Quarter
Quote:
Customers of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) continued to rather aggressively migrate to newer process technology in the third quarter of 2009, the world’s largest contract maker of semiconductors revealed. It is noteworthy that TSMC’s revenue from 40nm wafers quadrupled in the third quarter and is now around 4%.

TSMC said that as demand outlook continued to improve, third quarter saw a solid growth in the demand for semiconductors across all major applications. Advanced process technologies (130nm and below) accounted for 67% of wafer revenues: 90nm process technology accounted for 18% of wafer revenues, 65nm for 31%, and 40nm exceeded 4% of total wafer sales (up from 1% in Q2 and up from 0.33% in Q1).

Potentially, substantial increase of 40nm wafer shipments means significant boost of 40nm chip supplies. As a result, graphics processing units that are made using 40nm fabrication process will gradually gain market share in calendar Q4 2009. Moreover, as ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, and Nvidia Corp. ramp up their 40nm GPUs production at TSMC, the most advanced process technology will represent even higher portion of the chipmaker’s sales.

Diffidently good news for ATI or anyone that wants to buy a 5850 or 5870 but can't because their out of stock.

What is the world still uses a processing node greater then 130nm, that can account for more then 43% of all of TSMC's sales?

lots of things

stuff on your motherboard maybe


old part replacements

non-computer stuff (e.g. maybe cameras?)
lots of things

Yep, just general use applications, that don't require high performance, or extreme efficiency.(I think).
