Rumor: TSMC now building quad-core 'A8' chips for Apple's next-gen iPhone

While rumors of a partnership between Apple and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. have lingered
for years, yet another report on Wednesday claims once again that the Taiwanese chipmaker is now producing
chips for the company — namely a next-generation "A8" processor for the 2014 iPhone.

The latest claims about Apple and TSMC were published by Taiwan's Commercial Times, and were
summarized by AFP. The report suggests that TSMC has won "most" of the orders for Apple's next mobile
processor, said to be a quad-core CPU, taking business away from rival Samsung.
