The iPhone 3GS' total bill of materials amounts to $178.96 for a 16GB model, or slightly more than the previous $174.33 of the 8GB iPhone 3G. Some of the cost difference is attributed to recent rises in the prices of NAND flash memory; although 16GB costs less to ma... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/24/iphone.3gs.isuppli.costs/ Wed, 24 Jun 2009 11:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/18/toshiba.28nm.deal.extends/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/cellprocessor.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Toshiba and NEC together said today that they would extend their agreement with IBM to produce 28 nanometer chip technology. The deal sees the members of the larger alliance continuing to work on the smaller, more efficient technology with the intention of using it for home user products. They now also say they expected 28nm to be particularly useful for "mobile communication devices" such as sm... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/18/toshiba.28nm.deal.extends/ Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/17/ibm.intros.28nm.chips/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0809/samsungarm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />IBM announced on Thursday that it, along with partners Chartered Semiconductor, GlobalFoundries, Infineon, Samsung and STMicroelectronics, are jointly developing a 28-nanometer low-power, high-k metal gate (HKMG) bulk complementary metal oxide (CMOS) semiconductor for use in future processors. The technology would be used in mobile and consumer electronics devices such as Mobile Internet Devices (... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/17/ibm.intros.28nm.chips/ Fri, 17 Apr 2009 13:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/20/ericsson.stmicro.join/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/ericssonstm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Ericsson and STMicroelectronics on Wednesday announced they are entering into a joint venture to make wireless chips and software, effectively becoming a supplier to four of the major five cell phone makers with its products. The recent acquisition of Dutch chipmaker NXP by ST resulted in the company becoming the world's third-largest chipmaker, while Ericsson is the largest global mobile telecomm... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/20/ericsson.stmicro.join/ Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:40:00 GMT
