TSMC’s 5nm+ Will Enter Mass Production In 2021 Claims Source

It’s a great time for mobile processors. Apple’s made progress in leaps and bounds on the front courtesy of TSMC’s lead in the semiconductor fabrication space. Qualcomm and Huawei aren’t too far behind either, with the only company showing slow progress being Samsung. Now, we’ve got more information on TSMC’s plans for its next-generation performance node. Take a look below for more details.
Last month we reported that TSMC had commenced risk production of its next-generation 5nm manufacturing process. The 5nm node is expected to provide an 80% increase in transistor density, a net 15% performance increase and a 40% reduction in surface area. This process will be used on several 2020 products, and if we’re lucky, Apple’s A14 will be right on time to utilize it when 5G starts to become mainstream.
