VIA to produce 90nm 2GHz Esther processors at IBM fabs
VIA signed the contract with IBM about the production of its Esther-based processors (also known as C5Y the next generation after C4 or C5X-Nehemiah). VIA´s Esther processors will be produced using 90nm SOI CMOS process and low-k isolator films at the 300mm Fab in East Fishkill, NY.
Esther solutions shouled reach 2GHz clock speed at the same energy consumption level. Shipments should start in H2 2004.
Another partner of VIA, Taiwanese TSMC, will continue producing VIA Ñ3 and Ñ4, core logic, comm, networking and multimedia solutions.
