TAIPEI - Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, the world's top contract chip maker, said Microsoft has started using TSMC's 90-nanometre-embedded-DRAM process technology for the production of the Xbox 360 game console.
"Microsoft's selection of the TSMC 90nm eDRAM process for the graphics-rich Xbox 360 is an important validation of the capability and maturity of the technology," said John Wei, senior director of platform marketing, advanced technology division of TSMC, in a statement on its website.
TSMC has been producing 90 nanometre embedded dynamic random access memory (DRAM) since the first quarter of 2006, it said.
