Simmtronics already has a Made in India tablet available.. I think the initial response to made in india chips is gonna be bad, as expected but itll surely bring prices down over time

Re: Made In India Chips are coming soon as per Rumor

it Depends On manufacturer not location IMO.

Not really. It also depends on environmental quality and quality of resources.

Also, the chalta hai attitude in india does not help.

I hope it can be compered to TSMC or Samsung but IDK.

,wish they will employ some strict quality control. but QC costs a lot of money.....

I guess its not very popular among Indian manufactures and we lags miles being others.

yeah like soniacom,rahul octo,robert foxconn and more over reservation to sc and st where they can only work whenever they want and even they can design the chip using only one core and rest of the cores {which may be multiples of nos}by other castes.....

They might use such names aswell :

1.2 GHz Dev Nath Dual Core
1.4 GHz Kedar Nath Quad Core
1.6 GHz Maha Kaal bigLITTLE etc...

Well, one has to keep an eye on it. After all, this is what is currently going on with state governments involving Intel for notebook processors with the purpose of 'education'.

I think they will have decent quality considering the scale at which transistors are created and speed at which they run. At such level of sophistication, low quality products simply can't be made.

I conclude it from the analogy that a car can take a hit and still run whereas a few birds pose threats to a plane and an even more sophisticated vehicle such as space shuttle can be destroyed just by loss of a few ceramic tiles.
As a machine becomes more sophisticated, the margin of error decreases. Hence it is simply not possible to create products below a certain quality threshold since they won't work at all.

Wow !!! this is a big leap for india i would say !!! india dont have to pay crores of rupees to some foreign company to get their chips. Also it will improve the economic status of our country if the chips can meet a certain standards....

A lot of people have got the situation terribly wrong. This is a fab that will be setup by IBM and ST and they dont intend to give away chips for free. The ONLY reduction in prices would be the possible removal of taxes (hoping that the cutoms is not replaved with some cousin of VAT that makes you shell out the same amount)

Secondly:- the chips *WILL* meet standards. No company can make substandard chips and hope to survive. As a matter of fact there are NO standards in chips like you speak of. The customer sets the standard.

They WILL NOT be named after politicians or Gandhi or the Gods.

Man, the amount of misinformation flowing in this thread is too damn high. :|

ST Microelectronics. Quite a biggie, although pretty much unheard out of the tech circle.
