SMIC shrinks its chip processes
CHINESE CHIP MAKER SMIC has said it plans to extend its 45nm bulk CMOS to 40nm.
The move is widely seen as an attempt to get back into the technology running after its rivals have been getting all the more cleverer in getting higher tech chips out.
The 45nm process is based on technology licensed from IBM but apart from that SMIC is keeping its cards close to its chest. It is not clear, for example when low leakage versions of the process will be mixed into general production.
Richard Chang, president and CEO, said in a statement that the 45nm technology had been implemented at SMIC's 300mm facility in Shanghai ahead of schedule and he was looking forward to a similar result at the new processes. µ

Nice find Drashek. I am still running a X2 4400+ S939
Above ASRock 939 Main Is OPTERON Capable 144 to 185. NO ECC Memory.
Price is Raw Guess As retail Sites Cue Up Bargain, yet rumor is 99.99 in USD or MA bucks, whichever is LESS. Remember Optee' Was Grainny of Ultee'(With ScrubBuster mem) & this micro-atx has ati 4200 integrated chipset.Should BE HOT. Hot, Hot. Lava Spewel of Day, t-? & Counting....Just Being Opteron Capable IS Strong reflection of gut Engineering.
