Nvidia expects up to 30% of chips to be 40nm by end of 2009

Nvidia has answered a rather interesting question about the forecasted 40nm market share by the end of this year. The 40nm process is ramping up quickly, Nvidia says and Jensen Huang expects that mix towards end of the year to be 25 to 30 percent 40nm, while the rest should be 55nm.

He explains that many chips will remain 55nm simply as some important chips such as MCP79, also known as Geforce 9400 and Ion, are 55nm, and it will remain 55nm in this year and they expect some serious sales from this chip.
