I feel like this is a tech-problem that will have a tech-solution. No idea how that fits into an "International Trade Partner Conference". That said, you can't

That said, you can't outsource your complete manufacturing process only to come back later and wish for "virtual IDM" partnerships. Thats all of the benefits and none of the risk.
- ak217 15y agoRhetoric aside, Nvidia is the designer who keeps breaking transistor count records and is a dominant OEM supplier. That makes them both a technology and business leader among TSMC's customers, so it makes sense for TSMC to devote resources to them, since the experience they get in working with them can't be gained elsewhere and is applicable to their other customers down the road.
- ajross 15y agoPretty sure most of the (logic) transistor count records are held by FPGAs, no?
- pmjordan 15y agoNot at the clock speeds that nvidia chips run at.
- ak217 15y agoI guess you're right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor_count http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor_count But they are very different beasts with different technology and a different (much smaller) market, right?
- vtail 15y agoYou are right: 2.6B for CPU, 4.3B for GPU and 6.8B for FPGA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor_count http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor_count
