Julian Ho, TSMC Expects to Launch 5nm Node 2 Years After 7nm. DigiTimes, Jan 18, 2016.

("As for 10nm, TSMC expects to qualify the node which will be ready for customer tape-outs in the first quarter of 2016, [co-CEO Mark] Liu said")

My comment:
(a)
(i) Traditionally The Taiwan-based DigiTimes does not mention sources, so its reports can not be independently confirmed. Its track record is mixed (which sometimes turns out to be correct, but not in some other times). However, the quotation above, attributed to a co-CEO and likely to be true (then it will shock the world when it happens, upsetting Intel), predicts something this close in the future, we can wait and see, to see whether the forecast is born out.

(i) Ashraf Eassa, Apple Inc Likely to Tap TSMC for 10-Nanometer A11 Chip Manufacturing, Motley Fool, Jan 18, 2016.

This report suggests that The foregoing DigiTimes report is wholly based on Mr Mark Liu’s remarks. Twice the Motley Fool mentions the call (during the call, on the call) which usually means an earning call, where a CEO has a conference call with analysts. Yet DigiTimes talks about “a recent investors meeting.”  Neither DigiTimes nor Motley Fool gives a date.
(ii) The last sentence: “I'm interested to see” -- as opposed to “interested in seeing.”
Is it grammatically correct to use ‘interested to’ instead of ‘interested in’?
