3nm chipsets

MediaTek on Thursday announced that it had developed its first chipset that is based on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC) 3nm process. The company's flagship Dimensity chipset that is set to launch next year with notable improvements in performance and efficiency over current-generation chipsets. The company is yet to reveal which brands it will work with to integrate the new processor. Rivals Apple and Qualcomm are also said to be working on launching chips with the cutting-edge…

Apple will reportedly utilise Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC) 2nd-generation 3nm process for its M3 and A17 chips that are said to feature in next year's Mac computers and iPhone handsets, respectively. The report suggests that these chips will enter production next year and that the Cupertino company will release these products throughout 2023. The 2nd-generation 3nm process developed by TSMC is known as N3E. This enhanced process is believed to offer improved performance and energy efficiency in…

MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch models will enter mass production in the fourth quarter of 2022 (4Q22), as per analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. He says that it is possible that these MacBook models may come with “5nm advanced node.” This means that these new laptops will have the same M2 chip under the hood that powers the MacBook Pro (2022) and MacBook Air (2022). Reports suggest that the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) could begin the production of its new 3nm chips for Apple by the end of this year.As per a…

The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) could begin the production of its new 3nm chips for Apple by the end of this year, a new report claims. The Cupertino company could become the first to use the new 3nm processor for its M2 Pro chipsets. The report further suggests that Apple's A17 Bionic chip and the M3 chip could continue to use TSMC's 3nm process. The move from TSMC's 5nm process to the 3nm process is expected to result in improved performance and energy efficiency.According to a report by Taiwan's…

Samsung in June last week started the mass production of chips with advanced 3-nanometer (nm) technology based on the Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistor architecture. Now, new reports suggest that Samsung SoCs manufactured on the 3nm fabrication process will be launched on July 25. If the reports hold any weight, then the South Korean electronic brand will surpass the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), whose 3nm chip production is anticipated to start later this year. The new chip is claimed to consume 45…

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has announced that its chips manufactured on 3nm fabrication process will be coming in 2023, and the ones made with 2nm process will debut in 2025. At the TSMC 2022 Technology Symposium, the chipmaker also announced a new technology, FinFlex, that it will use to make the N3 and N3E chipsets. The technology is said to provide manufacturers the versatility to offer high performance, lower power consumption, and maximum transistor density based on three-fin configuration…
