TSMC Shipments Signal the Start of Production for New Apple Products 300x251
TSMC Shipments Signal the Start of Production for New Apple ProductsTaiwan
Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) has begun shipping massive amounts of
key iDevice components to Apple in recent weeks, new reports out of Asia
reveal.
Multiple sources close to Apple confirm that TSMC has started supplying A-
series processors to Apple as iPhone 6 production swings into full gear.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the shipments from TSMC are the latest
indication of Apple’s plan to distance itself as much as possible from
Samsung.
Although Apple contracted with TSMC for the chips last year in a
landmark deal, some analysts were skeptical that the Taiwanese chip maker,
the world’s biggest contract chip maker by revenue, could deliver the
complicated chips.
“Apple’s order is a big deal to the company. TSMC has assigned a large
team to support Apple as you know this client is very picky,” an unnamed
source in Hong Kong is quoted in Thursday’s report. |
