On the timing of 7-nm process development at TSMC last event, the manual says a lot. As we already know, in the first quarter ext year will have the first prototypes of 7-nm production, which is currently more than 20 customers bought. A two captains emphasized that the 7-nm process technology will be used not only by developers of mobile processors for expensive smartphones. Among TSMC customers in this area will be productive and developers of graphics processors, components for PCs, tablets and gaming devices, servers, the FPGA programmable arrays, virtual reality devices, automotive components and solutions for the telecommunications sector. Digital Projects 7-nm products will appear in the second quarter. TSMC is proud to be able to beat the competition in the development of 7-nm technology.
Over time, TSMC's expects, the proceeds from the sale of 7-nm products will exceed figures recorded for the 28-nm technology. And if the 10-nm process technology will allow TSMC to take 70% of the market of services in the framework of technological standards, in the case of 7-nm technology will be TSMC share even higher. However, even in the presence among customers on a 7-nm process development with high-performance products, as noted by TSMC leadership issue volumes are obviously higher in mobile processors.
Returning to the 10-nm process technology, which will bring the life of serial products already in early 2017, TSMC's explains that the output level of the non-defective product grows comparable to the 16-nm process technology . However, the 10-nm process technology to master more complex than 16 nm. As already mentioned, on the production of market 10-nm TSMC expects to take the product at least 70%. Recall that Intel its services for the production of 10-nm products will also offer third-party companies, and LG is already listed among them with a kind of ARM-based processors for mobile devices.
