MediaTek has developed its first chip using TSMC's 3nm process. It delivers an 18% increase in performance at the same power consumption. However, the chip won't be commercially available until 2024.

TSMC has announced that its 3nm technology has successfully entered mass production with good yields. The company is also preparing its Taiwan and Arizona fabs for 2nm chip production for the future.

TSMC, a contract chipmaker, reported that its November revenue totaled 222.71 billion Taiwan dollars ($7.27 billion), representing a 50.2% year-over-year increase with Apple being a major contributor.

Samsung has begun the production of 3 nm chips. They deliver improved performance and power usage compared to 5 nm chips. Samsung is also planning even better second-gen 3 nm hardware.

The Taiwanese semiconductor company began its 26th Technology Symposium today by talking about its forthcoming processor technologies, and revealed that 3nm process nodes are coming in 2022.
