Integrated FanOut is a new generation packaging technology for chipsets developed by TSMC. It’s designed to increase system bandwidth in conjunction with being easily scalable: it will reduce power consumption and results in thinner processors as it removes substrate from the design. Thinner chipsets result in greater thermal efficiency, because heat is quicker to dissipate. The shorter the distance between internal processor components can also result in greater performance. The TSMC InFO is set to increase chipset costs by between 5% to 10%, as TSMC have improved their manufacturing abilities to improve the die yield. Ultimately, as TSMC further refine their manufacturing processes this will reduce the cost and ultimately result in smaller, thinner devices, the type that we are expecting to see more of as the Internet-of-Things becomes more prevalent.
However, at this juncture it is unclear what chipsets will benefit from InFO and when, exactly, chips will be coming off the production lines with the technology integrated although the expectation is that they will be available in the second quarter. As TSMC prepare the technology for new chipsets. As we have already alluded, the Apple A10 has been linked with this rumor, as is whatever System-on-Chipset that will power the next generation Apple Watch. The next Apple Watch is likely to be released in the second quarter, which coincides with the second quarter rumor. We will have to wait and see what other manufacturers’ chipsets use InFO and what difference it makes to devices in the hands of consumers.
