In recognition of the company's management TSMC, in 2015, it is equally shared production market of 14/16-nm chips with Samsung. In 2016, the company is going to do everything possible to take from Samsung its market share and reshape the market contracts in their favor with a score of 70:30. To do this, the Taiwanese contractor is going to, at least, to increase capital expenditure in 2016 to $ 9.10 billion. Much of this money will be put on the expansion of the share of the 16-nm solutions production. In the past year, we note TSMC company lowered capital expenditures to a record low value - to $ 8.1 billion. This was due to a decrease in the company's income, but in 2016 the company expects to see revenue growth, which will allocate to the development of additional amounts.
For example, TSMC company expects an 8% increase production solutions for smartphones, focusing on the platforms higher and secondary productivity. The company also completed the development of a special version of the 16-nm process technology - 16nm FinFET Compact (16nm FFC). This process technology for low-power chips - for wearable electronics and items for connecting to the Internet. In principle, TSMC has identified three priorities: high-end smartphones, supercomputers (obviously talking about NVIDIA Pascal) .
Separately, TSMC company has confirmed plans to move to the next processes. Verification of 10-nm process is almost completed, and client design chips using it will begin in the current quarter. Process technology with the norms of 7 nm will be put into production in 2017, and the technical process with the norms of 5 nm - in 2019.
