Chimpakers are teaming up to develop the next-generation, 28nm chip manufacturing process, and the first 28nm products are expected in the second half of 2010.
The IBM-led alliance consists of IBM, Samsung Electronics, STMicroelectronics, Globalfoundries, Chartered Semiconductor and Infineon. The companies have joined forces to develop the 28nm high-k metal gate process, and IBM claims customers can start the design process in 32nm and then transition to 28nm at a later point.
Intel, on the other hand, is developing its own 32nm process, and CEO Paul Otellini expects the chipmaker will start shipments of 32nm silicon later this year.
