Hello everyone, today Xiaobian has come to share the latest information with you. According to reports, TSMC is developing a 3nm process, including N3, N3B and N3E nodes, let's take a look at it with Xiaobian.
In addition, it has been reported that TSMC plans to officially mass-produce the 3nm process in the second half of 2022, but encountered the problem of low yield in the production process, which affected the product planning of customers such as Apple, AMD and Nvidia. There is widespread speculation that TSMC may delay the mass production of the 3nm process.
However, it has been reported that TSMC is currently actively promoting the 3nm process, and may officially mass-produce N3 nodes in the second half of 2022, while the mass production of N3E nodes may be in the second half of 2023.
However, due to the high mass production rate as a 3nm simplified version of the N3E node, TSMC hopes to achieve commercialization as soon as possible, possibly in advance to the first half of 2023. In addition, the node density of TSMC's 3nm process is 60% higher than that of 5nm.
The report also said that Apple and Intel will equally divide the first wave of TSMC's 3nm process capacity, and the specific products may have the iPhone 14 series to be released in the fall of 2022, which will use the A16 processor created by TSMC's 3nm process.
