As reported by Bloomberg, the company has started mass production of the next-gen chip at its Tainan campus in southern Taiwan, following Samsung into the future of chip design. TSMC Chairman Mark Liu said that "the semiconductor industry will grow rapidly over the next decade, and Taiwan will surely play an even more critical role in the global economy" and added that demand for the 3-nanometer processors was "very strong."
According to Liu, “mass production of 3-nanometer chips is the fruit of decades-long collaboration with the local supply chain."
The company's 3nm process technology is expected to bring significant improvements in performance and power efficiency for a wide range of applications, including mobile devices, high-performance computing, and artificial intelligence. TSMC says that the next-gen chips will "offer better performance than its 5nm chips, while requiring about 35% less power."
