Most companies start making only a chip in the new process until it gets mature enough to move all chips. But yes... a solid and matured 28nm process will be always cheaper than a solid and matured 40nm process. |
FYI we're never going to see a matured 20nm process node be cheaper than a matured 28nm process node until 13.5nm EUVL comes into the picture ...
