IBM To Manufacture NV35?

March 28th 2003 | NVIDIA

Christy Lee reports at Digitimes:

The orders Nvidia may start placing at IBM are said to be the company’s new NV35 chip, an updated version of Nvidia’s current top-end GeForce FX 5800 series (NV30) chip, sources said, as Nvidia’s cooperation with IBM is aimed at the latter’s high-end process technology.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Nvidia’s long-time foundry partner, will continue manufacturing the larger-amount, lower-end GeForce FX 5600 (NV31) and GeForce FX 5200 (NV34) chips.

Currently, TSMC produces all six of Nvidia’s GeForce FX chips, including the GeForce FX 5800, 5600 and 5200 series, of which the GeForce FX 5800 and 5600 series adopt 0.13-micron processes, while the GeForce FX 5200 series uses 0.15-micron technology. All six chips are produced on 8-inch wafers at TSMC.

NV35 likely to be Nvidia’s first orders at IBM
