According to that article, ATI and Nvidia are both using a processess called Halg node, basiclly using a 80µ process. It makes it about 20 percent cheaper.

That'd be about $20.00 less if you accept previous price estimates.
That's a lot of money over time.

Dradien hate to burst your bubble, but this doesn't have anything to do with RSX.It might effect Xenos in the 360 fairly quickly - who knows - but Sony is going to be the one fabbing the RSX, not TSMC. So RSX will definitely be 90nm to start, then down to 65nm.

Edited out...
Wouldn't Sony be able to use the process thought?
Also, I have a question that's been bugging me for a long long time. Is TSMC a company that makes Sami-conductors or what?

Hmm, well that sure took a wrong turn (I was gonna make a 360 pun but it didn't sound right).

...and yes, TSMC makes processors.
To note, they make processors for companies like ATI and NVidia (fabless companies). ATI and NVidia don't actually make their own chips, they outsource production to comapnies like Chartered, UMC, and TSMC.

say it anyways Viper
I think Sony will jump from 90n to 65n. that is why I don't see it happening until at least a year or more has passed. they might as well make a re-design to boost sales. but wait a minute, PS2 CPU/GPU were shrunken without an outer desing difference. ack.
