Following up on their previous article concerned with the reason of TSMC's delays for the 40nm process, The Inquirer is now saying that the delays are a direct result of major leakages within chips. Their sources even went as far as to describe the problem being as serious as a “screen door on a submarine”.

Apparently, the Taiwanese have some solutions in store, but the report claims that we shouldn’t expect much of the 40nm shrink, as the results would be minor gains.

Be it as it may, we’re still anxious to test them and check for ourselves, but we’re quite sure that graphics card companies are even keener on this getting to this process, as it would at least slash production costs, minor gains or not.
