ARM announced it expects that devices with 20nm ARM chips will hit the market by the end of next year:
It is not a secret that both leading contract makers of semiconductors - Globalfoundries and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company - plan to start production of chips using 20nm process sometimes in the second half of next year. Apparently, ARM, the developer of low-power microprocessor technologies, expects actual devices based on 20nm chips to arrive by late 2013.
ARM-based chips made using next-generation 20nm manufacturing process could appear in smartphones and tablets by as soon as the end of next year, Simon Segars, general manager of the processor and physical IP divisions at ARM, told reporters at the Computex 2012 tradeshow in Taipei, Taiwan on Monday, reports IDG News Service.
