TOKYO, Sept 7 (Reuters) - Japan's Toshiba Corp (6502.T) is in talks with Singapore's Chartered Semiconductor (CSMF.SI) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.N) spinoff Globalfoundries about outsourcing production of its cutting-edge 28-nanometre system chips, the Nikkei business daily said on Monday.
Toshiba is shifting its focus to stable revenues in its power and infrastructure business.
It will begin contracting out production of the chips, used in flat TVs, game consoles and other gadgets, in the business year starting April, the paper said without citing sources.
Toshiba officials said they were checking on the report.
Company president Norio Sasaki said last month that Toshiba would consider outsourcing production of the chips, developed in conjunction with an IBM-led (IBM.N) consortium. (Reporting by Mayumi Negishi; Editing by Edwina Gibbs)
