Apple A8 processor production by TSMC

Taiwan based TechNews (via MacRumors) from Asia points to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) that Apple is looking forward for the production of Apple A8 processor. TechNews also reported that TSMC has already started the production of Apple A8 processor. TSMC was expected to handle 70% of production and rest 30% by Samsung, but due to some production problems, Apple A8 production shifted completely from Samsung to TSMC.

Till Date, Apple's Processors was manufactured by Samsung, but TechNews is claiming that after the latest 20 nanometer manufacturing process, TSMC will be the main manufacture for Apple A8 processor.

Report suggest that this deal will not affect production of A9 production in 2015. Apple will start A9 production with TSMC and its 16nm process and then shift to Samsung and its 14nm process.

A8 is expected to be the new processor update in iPad Air and next generation iPhone.
Rumors says that "iPad Pro" will be postponed to 2015.
