Apple drops Samsung for TSMC - doesn't that free Samsung to do Nvidia's 20mm parts ?

yes, but Samsung will benefit the most but these are all good phones.....
Android and Tizen (ex-MeeGoo) and Bada.
Wait until you see something similar to the N950 from Samsung!

20mm parts ? You mean for kV chips? :-)
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, January 05 2013 @ 11:59 PM EST
20mm feature sizes are kind of rare on GPUs and and CPUs, but do have some
importance on the large semiconductors used when making "switched mode
power supply" -like converters for multi-kV power grids. I mean the kind
that also feature 20 foot tall transformers and wires thicker than 0 AWG.

20µm feature sizes (1000 times smaller in each direction, a million times
smaller in area) were important in early microchips, but are now used only for
selected tasks.

20nm feature sizes (another million times smaller yet) on the other hand is
around the current cutting edge in extremely high density CPU and GPU chips.

(Note the smiley, I know it's just a typo)
