The Wall Street Journal says it has confirmed with an executive for the company that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) will become the lead supplier of Apple's in-house-designed A-series processors in a ramp-up beginning in 2014 with 20nm system-on-chip (SoC) processors, confirming Electronista's report from DigiTimes that appeared earlier this week. The company, which has been an Apple supplier for years, is said to have recently overcome some technical obstacles to increase its output to the speed, power and quality standards required by the iPhone maker.
