TSMC: 7nm Now Biggest Share of Revenue

As process node technology gets ever more complex, it costs big dollars to develop and then building chips on the process is also a very costly process. The big foundries often have many process nodes running in parallel across a wide range of price brackets in order to both diversify the revenue streams but also offer multiple competitive options for the market. The latest numbers out of TSMC are stating that in Q4, the revenue generated from their leading edge 7nm node family now takes the biggest percentage of revenue for the company.
As posted by David Schor of WikiChip over Twitter, taking data from TSMC’s earning calls over the years and adding its latest Q4 results to the mix, it shows that 7nm has had a significant ramp, becoming 23% of the revenue of the company since it starting offering it as a process. Over the course of 2018, TSMC has stated that 7nm has accounted for close to 10% of total revenue, and the company expects the process node to be worth ‘greater than 20%’ of its 2019 revenue.
In the Q3 earnings call, CC Wei from TSMC stated that:
This is the first time in the semiconductor industry the most advanced logic technology is available for all product innovations at the same time. We continue to work with many customers on N7, N7+ product design and expect to see more than 100 customer product tape-outs by end of 2019 expect 7-nanometer to be a multiple waves of customer adoptions.
Trendforce has reported that TSMC held 56.1% of the worldwide market share for semiconductor foundry business in the first half of 2018, prior to 7nm being offered. Compared to other foundries, the same report has that GlobalFoundries holds 9.0% of the market, UMC at 8.9%, Samsung at 7.4%, and SMIC at 5.9%; all other players are sub 2.5%. It will be interesting to see if 7nm changes this balance.
On the future of 7nm offerings, back in August 2018, GlobalFoundries announced that it has stopped all 7nm development, that it no longer has plans to develop a 7nm process, and will focus on its current profit-generating technologies such as 14LPP, 12LP, 22FDX, and 12FDX. Also, Samsung’s 7nm offerings are starting to come online and the company has been particularly aggressive about discussing future process node technologies. We have also reported on TSMC's future plans, such as offering 5nm volume production by early 2020.

Obviously the Anandtech article is about a subset of the total semiconducrtor market.Kvaern1 - Friday, January 18, 2019 - link
Pretty amazing.Pre-Apple every TSMC roadmap was a joke and every launch vaporware as I recall it.
Also, it annoys me 16 and 20nm are grouped as the same node, I'd imagine 20nm on it's own would look a lot more like 10nm.

A big one is analog. A lot of that stuff is very high- profit and there's little need to shrink it to newer nodes. And analog as a market is booming right now, especially in automotive https://www.mybkexperience.xyz/www-mybkexperience-...wiviruqe - Wednesday, December 23, 2020 - link
Fine, I was just heading home was there something I could do for you? As she leans down showing me her nice looking titties I simply tell her Doug has been keeping me informed of your training and I was hoping to see if I could give you a quick test to see how you are progressing. Reaching into her dress and giving her right tit a good squeeze and all she does was smile with a verbal yes. Good let’s go back to your classroom and give you this pop quiz. Once back in her class I head for her chair and take a seat https://bigboobsgifs.com/ . As she approaches I just lift my hand telling her to just lift her dress and to lay back on her desk. Seeing her matching panties with her dress just makes my pussy wet for some reason. Without a word she lays back pulls her panties to the side and spreads her legs wide with her feet pointing to opposite sides of the room. Doug has trained her well, leaning in I know I don’t have much time so I start with a trick Frank does on me and just seal place my lips around Mrs. Rodrigues bald pussy and shove my tongue straight into heaven. Sucking and licking her clit, her pussy folds inside and out rimming her ass and finger fucking too. I was in heaven between these legs, it took nearly twenty minutes for her to have that amazing orgasm that Doug so often spoke about and the taste of her pussy juices running down my throat, chin and smeared all over my fingers as she shoots her load of women cum. I stand up, as she sits up asking if she pass. With flying colors as I lean in and give a very passionate kiss, tongue and all. As I head out to meet the boys I turn and tell her we need a girls night soon https://boobsgifs.com . She smiles, nodding yes as I head back to the car. I arrived just as the boys were coming out of the school, perfect timing on my part, smiling like I just ate a piece of heaven.As we head home it did not take long for Frank to smell Mrs. Rodrigues on me. Asking mom who’s pussy are we smelling. As if this was a normal conversation I reply. It is Mrs Rodrigues’s pussy you smell, I saw her coming out of school wearing that dress thinking how hungry I was for some of her. Your dad does not stop talking about how good her pussy is, so I had time and wanted her to know as well what she and Doug were doing and that she will be servicing me from time to time as well. You know mom Mrs. Rodrigues is are last class of the day and I would just love to watch her eat your pussy and for you to eat her as well of course. Thinking it is Wednesday tomorrow and nothing was planned I quickly agree. We will have your father text not to wear panties tomorrow or bra William adds, I smile and agree to no bra tomorrow for Mrs. Rodrigues. As I drive the boys home I ask if they need to be dropped off anywhere, they just shake their heads no.
With a quick dinner the booths head upstairs to do their homework and get ready for school tomorrow. I head into the living room were Doug is watching a action movie, which brought up memories of that night just a couple of months ago https://bigtitsgifs.com/ . The boys finger fucking my pussy and ass, sucking my tits I was in sexual heaven that night and almost every night since than, shaking my head thinking how good my life is right now. I told Doug what the boys and I are going to do tomorrow with his latest pet and to text her letting her know what is expected of her and to be naked under her dress. I also told Doug that I will be dress the same tomorrow all day as well. With that said all he could do was ask for a blow and fuck before bed. I was so charged up if he did not ask I was going to take it from him anyways. I do love my husband.
