TSMC was under a virus attack, So Nvidia, AMD & Apple 7nm techs are Affected as well

Digitimes is reporting the announcement by TSMC that the virus infection is estimated to impact its third quarter revenue to the tune of 3%.

The 7nm products from Apple, AMD and Nvidia were some of the main items affected. There was reports earlier that it may cause a delay in delivering next Apple product to the market.

On Friday a ‘misoperation during the installation process for a new tool’ caused a virus to spread around chip-manufacturing behemoth TSMC’s computer network and has caused several thousand wafers to be scrapped. The important 12-inch fabs are the heart of TSMC’s contract manufacturing operations and Fab 12 and Fab 15 were shut down for as long as ten hours. These are the fabs where the company is manufacturing using the leading-edge 7nm process for the likes of AMD, Nvidia, and Apple. Pcgamesn reports.

The important 12-inch fabs are the main parts of TSMC’s operations and Fab 12 and Fab 15 were shut down for ten hours. These are the fabs used in 7nm process for the likes of AMD, Nvidia, and Apple. It has said that any shipment delays resulting from the virus will be made up in the fourth quarter of the year, though they could still have some tangible impact on both confidence and TSMC’s bottom line. 3% of their comes goes over $253m for a weekend of infected wafers and halted production.

The Nvidia GTX 1180 is expected to be built by 12nm process, not reported if 12nm production was also affected by the virus. But we can report that no gaming products are going to be delayed because of the attack. Cause the 1180 and gtx 11xx family is set for 12nm and AMD’s next 7nm is mostly focused on commercial/professional products.
