TSMC NOT offering low-k on 0.09u process?

This is the link to the webcast from ATI's Goldman Sachs conference earlier today. Tune in at the 27 minute mark and you'll hear Vijay Sharma, group leader of ATI's desktop products answering a question about R520 in which he clearly states that TSMC's 0.09u process doesn't even offer low-k.

Mr. Baumann, how come your telephone hasn't been ringing? Or is this just a screw-up by an ATI officer who should know better? :?

Edit: TSMC's web site clearly indicates a default low-k dielectric 0.09u process, so Mr. Sharma has a lot of homework to do. How shameful.

Maybe he meant they don't offer low-k to nVidia?

AFAIK TSMC does not offer 90nm without low-k.

From TSMC, yes. There will not be non low-k variants of 90nm though (at least, at this point in time).

TSMC. At the moment they are only offering low-k 90nm

As I said, according to TSMC's reasearch which was told to us two weeks ago there were no foundries offering 90nm without low-k.

Reads to me as:
There is no such thing as "TSMC low-k 90nm" because all TSMC 90nm is low-k.
