Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has seen its 28nm process utilization rate fall to 65-70% recently, due to a cutback of customer orders, according to industry sources.
Qualcomm has cut its 28nm chip orders to TSMC as the fabless firm is engaged in inventory adjustment, the sources indicated. AMD, another major 28nm chip customer of TSMC, has also slowed down its pace of orders due to a seasonal drop in chip demand for games consoles, the sources said.
Meanwhile, the schedule for TSMC to manufacture MediaTek's 4G chips has been delayed due to some modifications being made in the chip design, the sources noted.
However, TSMC's 28nm process utilization rate is set to start climbing in January or February 2013, paving the way for the foundry to report brisk sales for the second quarter of 2014 and the following two quarters, the sources believe.
A ramp-up of 20nm chip production will also begin to make a positive contribution to TSMC's revenues in the second quarter of 2014, the sources pointed out. For the newer node process, the foundry has attained tape-out for 30 IC products, the sources said.

可能出少D舊貨.
個個都話S800,批S600就變死貨,應該要D時間消化.
Intel呢排話開OEM,唔知Qualcomm係咪要轉呔.

Qualcomm就奇怪啦, 間間廠都用佢, 有咩要adjust?
AMD Q2 console sales low?

雖然話粒野算係 portable. 不過又係聽講,聽講 GF 28nm 都係... hmm...
GF 出品 Kabini 會賣落桌面 FS1B,算係 first SoC PGA socket

FD-SOI 就有,PD 唔 sure。十萬九千年前我問某個 insider 果陣好佢 sure 咁答係 28nm bulk. AMD 有公開講過飛甩 custom SOI (雖然果段野本身都 miss 左大半 target, 2013 APU 得 KV 係 GF made)。
