QuoteThe earnings for the first quarter 2016 also show what TSMC is up to. The tape out of the first chip in the 10FF process (10 nm FinFET) was successful in the first quarter of this year. Mass production in this process will ramp up in the second quarter 2017. Needless to say, TSMC kept its lips sealed about any possible customers for the node. TSMC CEO Mark Liu did, however, speak of a console design that will rely on this new process. As nothing else was said, one can wildly speculate what Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo are up to something behind sealed doors.

Can't be NX unless Nintendo has gone senile and is missing the holidays.

PS4K?

I've never heard of TSMC before though.

TSMC do good part of PS4 and Xbox One chips.

To be fair AMD said they used GF and TSMC to produce the consoles APU.

BTW 10nm is huge news... more power, less consume in a smaller size... win win.
