Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), the world's largest contract chip maker, is offering companies a way to make chips that are faster, consume less power and cost less than is possible with 65-nanometer process technology.

TSMC today unveiled its 55nm process technology, a 90% linear-shrink process from 65nm including I/O and analog circuits.

The process delivers significant die cost savings from 65nm, while offering the same speed and 10 to 20% lower power consumption, according to TSMC.
