This sounds like encouraging news for smartphone cameras, as TSMC’s more advanced manufacturing could result in more efficient camera sensors. For what it’s worth, the Sony LYT-818 sensor used in phones like the vivo X200 Pro and X300 Pro is built on a 22nm manufacturing process. Vivo indeed claimed that this sensor offered improved power efficiency. Sony’s IMX989, which is a first-generation one-inch smartphone camera sensor, is reportedly built on a 40nm process.
Phone cameras are battery hogs, but that will change thanks to Sony

… It’s also worth noting that a smaller manufacturing process doesn’t mean a physically smaller image sensor size. So Sony wouldn’t be sacrificing light intake and image quality in general by using a smaller, more advanced process node. …
TSMC is reportedly accelerating its advanced semiconductor manufacturing expansion as demand for AI processors, HPC accelerators, and modern mobile chips continues increasing across the industry. …
… According to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman, Apple is exploring ways to 3D print aluminum to make the manufacturing processes for iPhones and Apple Watches more efficient. …
… Manufacturing these custom processors has traditionally been handled by TSMC, but Bloomberg now reports that Apple has been in talks with both Intel Foundry and Samsung Foundry to manufacture some of its chips in the coming months. …
… On the other hand, PC processors are designed for an average lifespan of at least 10 years, meaning the failure rate of CPUs is very low -- apart from manufacturing defects on the part of the manufacturers, as seen with certain models from Intel’s 13th and 14th generations. …
… The paper elaborates that TSMC usually doesn’t expand process capacity allocation after a process matures, but the semiconductor foundry has continually increased capacity for its 3nm process to keep up with CPU and AI demands. …
