Uh kako sada glupo izgledaju one najave oni slajdovi maxwel u 20nm duplo brzi od keplera bla bla, i sad hoce da ga izbace u 28nm, ne znam uopste zasto to rade ako ce 2015g 20nm i isti taj maxwel u 20nm.
Sad ce izbaciti maxwel u 28nm (marketing manja potrosnja kupujte ovo...sisanje ovaca), pa ce narene godine isti chip prebacit u 20nm pa opet sisanje ovaca![]()
Kako stvari stoje, ne bi bilo čudno da prekoče 20nm i u 2015. i umesto toga izađu sa 16nm.
TSMC je glavni krivac što se kasni sa 20nm...
TSMSs 20nm process has been a strange one, at present only one version of this process is available which can be used to make low cost mobile chips to even high end processors (like desktop CPUs and GPUs). This process has been considered too expensive by both AMD and Nvidia, as process yields are reported to be very low and production capacities are very limited.
This is where 16nm FinFET process technology comes in, for early 2015 it makes much more sense than 20nm manufacturing technology as it will be more profitable and usable by AMD and Nvidia. Not only that but TSMC have already developed a FinFET+ node, which is reported to be better for mass volume chip production later in the year which will again have notable benefits for the companies that use it.
According to TSMC the 16nm FinFET+ provides up to 15 per cent performance improvement over normal 16nm FinFET at the same level of power consumption. At the same clock-rate, chips produced using 16nm FinFET+ are expected to consume 30 per cent less power compared to the same chips made using 16nm FinFET. Also current 20nm fabs are said to be 95% ready for the 16nm process, meaning TSMC can easily move to handle the volume of orders of 16nm parts.
