A year after volume production of 20nm chips, TSMC announced it will begin volume production of its 16FF+ in the middle of 2015. TSMC claims the chips made using FinFET Plus have 10% better performance than competing silicon, consume 50% less power than a 20nm SoC, and have a cycle time twice that of 20nm chips.
The foundry will have more than 50 tape-outs by year’s end, covering applications processors, GPUs, automotive, and network processors, said TSMC President and Co-CEO Mark Liu said at the TSMC 2015 Technology Symposium Tuesday.
