TSMC's 10-nm FinFET process toddles towards validation
by from Techreport on (#DG00)
TSMC has made an important step on the road to validating its 10-nm FinFET design process with the awesomely-named "Product-like Validation Vehicle," according to a report by Nikkei (in Japanese behind a paywall) that was picked up by Kitguru. The foundry showed a quad-core Cortex A57 proof of concept at the 52nd Design Automation Conference in San Francisco last month. Details are still a little light; the firm didn't discuss real or expected clock frequencies.
