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.
TSMC, which is known for its high-end chip manufacturing capabilities, is investing around $12 billion to expand its Fab 21 facility located in Phoenix, Arizona to manufacture 3nm chips.
Intel has delayed outsourcing its 3nm chip production capacity to TSMC to the second half of 2023. The production was previously moved from the second half of 2022 to the first half of 2023.
