[B]The GPU-giant Nvidia has been working exclusively with TSMC for ages, but now it's been revealed that Samsung will conduct a mass production of a so far unknown piece of circuitry for the Nvidia corporation during the second quarter of this year.[/B]
The transition to 20 nanometer has been limited to a small amount of operators so far, something which is due to the fact that most of them are still dealing with 28nm technology, waiting for more advanced nodes to come forth.
Shortly, both Samsung and their co-worker Global Foundries will be ready to produce circuits based around 14nm technology, which gives them an advantage over the otherwise global leading contractor of semi-conductors, TSMC. The early transition has lead to Samsung gaining a lot of TSMC's biggest customers, such as Qualcomm, Apple, and AMD.
It's very likely that Qualcomm and Apple are using the opportunity to design more advanced mobile (smartphone and tablet) processors, but in Nvidia's case, the number of options are higher. While it's probable that they'll "just" create a new Tegra processor, something even bigger might be waiting at the door.

Pretty hilarious considering they're suing the shit out of each other over tegra patents in the US and in Korea they're humping each other blissfully in manufacturing.

I find it also funny that in that article it mentions Samsung gaining Apple from TSMC, who's had a very similar relationship over the years.

TSMC has proven to be unreliable with their production of 20nm and 16nm production processes though, can't blame for Nvidia to make the move to a company who has more of a reputation to put on the line.
The secret to the 14nm technology is the tears of Chinese child factory workers.

Factory work is better than prostitution.
And children don't work in those cleanrooms, not only are they not up to the task physically, I very much doubt higher-ups would trust children enough to do such a hard job.
Hell, if I remember correctly, AMD's current CEO started her career as an intern working in a cleanroom producing semiconductors.

This is so much better, I can imagine.
