("Rumors already circulated earlier in 2012 when TSMC had trouble meeting all orders of 28nm chips. TSMC's inability to supply enough chips made using 28nm process technology reportedly drove its major clients including Qualcomm toward other foundries such as Globalfoundries as a second sources. However, Qualcomm and other customers actually decided to queue up for TSMC's 28nm production capacity, as other foundries were unable to improve their yields on 28nm processes, the sources pointed out. Later in 2012, TSMC was ahead of its rivals to ramp up production of 28nm chips")
