Chartered semiconductor company released already AMD processors . Now Chartered mastered new technical processes with a certain delay relative to AMD company - in any case, in connection with processors production . Thus, if AMD is assembled to begin the deliveries of 45 nm processors in the fourth quarter of the present year, then Chartered promised to follow its example only in the middle of 2009.
Associate reported new data about Chartered plans : Now Chartered actively invests in 45 nm technology, and it is going to develop the corresponding products in 2009.
Growth in the release volumes of 45 nm production will start in autumn this year. Chartered has to spend in the present year on the preparation of 45 nm production 160 mln. (more than the planned value).
Further delay with the passage on 45 nm technological standards already cause serious negative consequences for Chartered. About 55% of company gain is now obtained from the production of products on 130 nm and 65 nm technical processes, in this case the portion of 65 nm technical process is only 18%.
