JAKARTA, celebrities.id – Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co atau TSMC will launch chip 3nm (N3) in the near future. This was confirmed directly by the company at the Symposium Technology TSMC 2022 yesterday.
As reported by Gizmochina, Sunday (19/6/2022), TSMC said its 3nm chip will be available in the second half of 2022. It was said that the chip would be used to make CPU as well as advanced GPUs.
The 3nm chip itself will consist of N3E, N3P, N3S, and N3X. This offers a better process window, higher performance, increased transistor density, and increased voltage for ultra-high performance.
All of these technologies will feature TSMC’s innovative FINFLEX architecture that offers chip designers great flexibility and enables them to precisely optimize chip performance, power consumption and cost.
As AnandTech points out, N3 is built to be developed for brands like Apple that can take advantage of the performance, power, and area (PPA) improvements generated by leading nodes.
The first N3 chips are expected to go into production in the coming months and will hit the market in Q1 2023.
