According to new reports, TSMC has officially entered the production stage for 5nm chips. Depending on what its clientele desires, there are reports of three 5nm nodes; the regular 5nm, 5nm+, and then you have the enhanced 5nm manufacturing process. There’s no confirmation which process Qualcomm has opted for, but if reports are true, the Snapdragon 875 should be available soon along with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X60 5G modem, which is the first baseband chip to be made on the 5nm architecture.

The production phase at the Nanke 18 factory has been increased by 10 percent to nearly 60,000 units in a single month, according to the text published at MyDrivers. Qualcomm is reportedly investing between 6,000-10,000 5nm wafers per month, most likely because it wants to deliver both the Snapdragon 875 and Snapdragon X60 on time. According to a previous report, all iPhone 12 models would feature a Snapdragon X60 5G baseband chip instead of the Snapdragon X55 one rumored some time back.
