Foundry Model Busted: Will Apple Fab?
The problems at 28nm, replicating the problems at 40nm, go to show that the semiconductor industry needs a new model.
It seems only Intel and Samsung, out of all the non-DRAM IDMs, made the right call on manufacturing.
Everyone else is at the mercy of foundries which may deliver processes in a timely fashion, or may not. But sure as eggs are eggs everyone else has little control over the timing of their process transitions.
