Apple seems to have made up their mind during the interim period that the partnership was reaffirmed on Friday the Chinese Economic News Service.
TSMC, the world's largest manufacturer of semiconductor, reportedly has already started trial launch new chip. A6's design is not finished yet, but the company aims to have a final product perfect Q1 2012, in time for its grand public unveiling several months after that.

This also means that the long-awaited chip specification is not set in stone for quite a while. It is expected that, in order to maintain its dual-core architecture-A6, however, the report leaves enough space for fans of hot semiconductor speculate like crazy.
Already there are rumors that, for example, A6 will Apple first quad-core. Quad-core chips have already been declared Qualcomm and NVIDIA, and bearing in mind that these companies have a close working relationship with TSMC, it is possible that some experience in the production of quad-core may find their way in A6.
