… Although this will have to face off with the likes of TSMC's own 1.6nm node when it's released, Intel's features backside power delivery and could be better suited for high-end data center tasks, where the TSMC solution may be better suited for consumer hardware. …
… Graph by TSMC will be able to use EUV on 14 layers, a substantial improvement over EUV at 7nm, which will only use that technology on four non-critical layers contacts and vias . “TSMC’s 5-nanometer technology offers our customers the industry’s most advanced logic process to address the exponentia… …
… TSMC will evaluate the rules and could choose to restart Biren production at a later date. Even though TSMC is not US-based, the Commerce Department requires companies that use US technology to abide by its statutes. …
… Here's how TSMC's CC Wei described it in TSMC's last quarterly conference call. O ur strategy is continuously to improve every node in the performance, such as 28 nanometer. And are continuing to improve the 16 nanometers technology. …
… The company recently showed its 3nm technology Opens in a new window to President Biden in South Korea. The transition from FinFET to GAA transistors is just over the horizon. Image: Samsung One of the reasons TSMC won't be moving to 2nm in the near future is it plans to use 3nm for quite some time. …
… Earlier this month, rumors surfaced that TSMC might significantly expand the facility. Now, we're hearing that the Taiwanese foundry might deploy 3nm technology in lieu of 5nm. …
… Then, in July, came announcements that TSMC could beat Intel to the punch with the first commercially available 3D chip technology. There's 3D and "3D" Intel's Tri-gate technology is a method for building a 3D transistor. …
… According to the story, Intel will specifically license the 6nm variant of TSMC's 7nm technology that the company announced last year. 6nm is expected to deliver a density improvement over 7nm/7nm+, though TSMC has not disclosed improvements on power or performance compared with the other node. …
… Betting and missing on EUV as a 7nm solution could cripple Samsung's foundry technology if TSMC and Intel bet on traditional scaling methods and see better results. …
… Samsung, however, made the decision to integrate EUV directly with its first-generation 7nm node, while TSMC decided to tackle that process in two steps. So far, TSMC seems to have made the better bet -- though getting EUV LPDDR5 out the door should help Samsung fill foundry lines. …
