And also goes some way to explaining why, despite TSMC offering a nominally 7nm process, the general consensus has been that Intel's 10nm design is pretty much analogous. But what's 3nm between fabs?

TSMC has been busy making 7nm wafers for a bunch of different companies over the years, and while you might not know it, you're probably using at least one product in your house that uses a chip ...

One major problem China has is lack of access to ASML's EUV lithography machines, which it will need to go beyond 7nm. Credit: ASML TSMC launched its 7nm process in 2018 and is now in high-volume ...

Apple supplier Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has begun commercial production of chips manufactured using its advanced 7-nanometer process (via DigiTimes). One of the major customers ...

TSMC is celebrating a recent silicon milestone -- one billion 7nm chips manufactured. That's good die, not total manufacturing volume, and it's enough to cover more than 13 Manhattan blocks.

Continuing previous reports, the Commercial Times says that TSMC is ready to enter 7nm production with EUV this quarter. EUV stands for ‘extreme ultraviolet lithography’ and enables even more ...

The 7nm process currently used for Apple A12, Snapdragon 855, and Kirin 980 is the first generation of TSMC 7nm chips. The second generation will come with more advanced technology and it ...

TSMC plans to raise sub-7nm foundry quotes by 3-6% in 2024, while quotes for 16nm and above process manufacturing will remain stable, according to industry sources. Save my User ID and Password ...

5nm has 15% more performance than 7nm, all at the same power draw -- or TSMC customers (like AMD, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, etc) can choose a 30% power reduction at the same performance. Not only that ...

ARM and TSMC have announced a new partnership that will see the companies collaborate on 7nm FinFET manufacturing process technology, with the goal of making it a viable reality in the next few years.

Originally, TSMC expected to spend ~$11B on CapEx improvements for 2019. Now, the company will spend between $14-$15B after allocating another $4B in cash to increased 7nm and 5nm production.
