… Normally, when we talk about slow timelines in semiconductor production, we're talking explicitly about new CPU microarchitectures, meaning major node transitions. Multi-year timelines are explicitly the norm throughout the entire semiconductor design, manufacturing, and packaging chain. …
… Kevin Zhang, VP of business development, said TSMC's expects it to be a popular node. “We do believe 3 nm will be a long node. We will continue to see high–volume demand on that node. …
… That is not the timeline Intel has on its roadmap , so this is a serious delay. Trendforce says the delay is due to "product design and process verification issues." However, it isn't clear if those issues are with TSMC's node, or Intel's. …
… Moore's law is no longer expected to deliver improved transistor cost scaling at or below the 20nm node. …
