The combined revenues of TSMC, UMC and VIS (Vanguard International Semiconductor) will be 0.8% down q-o-q and 3.7% down y-o-y.
Q3 revenues are expected to be $8.03 billion compared to Q2’s $8.09 billion and the $8.33 billion of Q3 2014.
The turndown would have been worse were it not for a rise in ASPs due to an increase in the proportion of advanced (sub45nm) processes in the the mix.
Digitimes notes that TSMC started to record 16nm revenues for the first time in Q3.
