Renesas Electronics ( RNECY.PK ) enters into a chip production tie-up with Taiwan Semiconductor ( TSM ), the world's largest contract chip maker. TSM will produce chips for use in automobiles and home appliances for Renesas as it looks for alternatives
Preferential treatment from TSMC ( TSM ) or not, Qualcomm's ( QCOM ) 28nm baseband chip shortage is leading the likes of Samsung ( SSNLF.PK ), LG ( LGEAF.PK
billion. Foundry chipmakers accounted for 72% of orders, as the segment, particularly leading foundry Taiwan Semiconductor TSM , increased equipment demand to ramp up manufacturing capacity at the cutting-edge 28-nanometer (circuit size) technology
new Kepler GPUs, due to manufacturing capacity constraints at the firm's foundry partner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing TSM , and PC supply chain disruptions early in the year, caused by the recent hard disk drive shortages. Beyond Nvidia's core

nanometer (circuit size) semiconductor manufacturing process at foundry partner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) TSM resulted in shortages of Nvidia's new Kepler GPUs. This in turn affected the high-end portion of Nvidia's desktop GPU
TSMC ( TSM ), trying to cope with limited manufacturing capacity for its cutting-edge 28nm process , has reportedly given priority for
lead over other logic chip manufacturers in the semiconductor industry. For comparison, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing TSM began to produce 28 nm devices in late 2011 and is ramping up volume production this year, while GlobalFoundries' most cutting

as well as competitor AMD ( AMD )). Furthermore, chip yield issues at Nvidia's sole producer, Taiwan Semiconductor ( TSM ) have limited supply of Nvidia's new Kepler-series 28 nm chips. Since Nvidia pays by the wafer (rather than by the chip
