“Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is expected to start making an integrated AP/GPU solution for Apple, using 20nm SoC process technology, according to Digitimes Research analyst Nobunaga Chai,” Jessie Shen reports for DigiTimes.
“In addition, Chai noted that though TSMC with its 20nm SoC process will most likely secure its first chip orders from Apple, the foundry’s 16nm FinFET process will play a key role in Apple’s ‘breakthrough’ product,” Shen reports. “TSMC’s 20nm SoC process should be able to enter mass production between fourth-quarter 2013 and first-quarter 2014, followed by a newer 16nm FinFET node in less than one year, Chai said.”

OK, we’ve been through the dump routine, so this is part of the pump routine?
Don’t know why but every time I see the word “ANALYST” in an apple related news I got this felling that they are two girls chatting in the laundry room.

I get an image of weasily Wall St. guys trying to play the tech “press” for suckers.
Does not appear to be too hard…

The tech press is a bunch of tools.
The endless need to publish, be timely, beat everyone to the punch, whore your hits, never retract, never say you’re wrong, pile-on, repost because it’s “trending”, is so far from journalism is laughable. The only sadder thing is that it has involved all of journalism and not just the tech sector.
Every day Apple rumors become more and more pathetically speculative and outrageous.
Every time the word analyst is used, their name should be included, so we can know who to trust or who is playing us.
Everyone is playing you.
You don’t need a daily analyst if you buy your stocks after doing your homework.
Maybe the eventual new groundbreaking Apple new iWatch product.
This new technology is expected to allow an iPhone user to upload an extension of his/her consciousness into The Cloud and explore the cyber-ether with the aid of an avatar.
The key word in this article is DigiTimes. This means any further thought regarding the contents of the article is a waste of time. I wish MDN would stop pointing out these DigiTimes posts.
