NVIDIA’s boisterous CEO Jen-Hsun Huang will purportedly meet with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation in October to discuss 40nm prices.

As a so-called fabless company, NVIDIA has long relied on the manufacturing capabilities of foundries like TSMC to realize the designs its boffins dream up. The most recent designs, such as those for the mythical GT300 GPU, happen to require 40nm.

Indeed, receiving word that Huang is prepping to chat TSMC up regarding 40nm supports prior speculation that the GT300 is on the November-January train. Were the GT300 being prepped for September or October, 40nm talks would have happened in July or August.

Better three months late than never, we guess.
