Expert attempts to pull out from Juan Jensen information about the duration of the life cycle of 28-nm process and timing of transition to 20-nm process technology have led to the traditionally emotional story about the benefits of Maxwell architecture , that NVIDIA was able to quickly adapt to the needs of 20- nm processor Tegra X1 without serious casualties in the field of energy. Huang said only that NVIDIA is always moving forward in the development of new technological processes, and now there is no reason to change this rule.
Separately stated an interest in technology NVIDIA FinFET by TSMC. The developer is not the first interested in this technology, and NVIDIA is brewing inside the belief that TSMC will produce excellent semiconductor products with FinFET-structures. Generally, NVIDIA is open for cooperation with different contractors, but TSMC will remain a strategic partner of the company. Add that TSMC is ready to start mass production of 16-nm products with FinFET early in the third quarter of this year, but not one of them would be complex products of the same type of graphics processors NVIDIA. The only commercially available 20-nm NVIDIA product still remains processor Tegra X1, and the transfer of this technology to GPUs is too early . Related Products :
