In this block NVIDIA prepares to present graphical solutions on base of GF100 - large video chip, produced on 40 nm technology. According to some data, the quantity of transistors in this video chip will exceed 3 billions pieces. High defective index with the production of 40 nm chips with this size would result in serious losses for NVIDIA.
The last data about TSMC success's report, that the release level of suitable chips on 40 nm technology does not exceed 70%. Today associate with reference to the words of first Vice President TSMC stated that the companies solved problems with the quality of 40 nm products. Now the release level of suitable chips on 40 nm technology approximately corresponds to the indices of 65 nm technical process.
