Despite the setbacks caused by the chip shortage, TSMC will reportedly continue mass producing wafers boasting a smaller lithography to push the boundaries of chip development. According to the latest info, the manufacturing giant is expected to start volume production of its enhanced 3nm node in the second half of 2023.

A paywalled report published on DigiTimes not only talks about TSMC’s plans to mass produce 3nm chips but enhanced 3nm wafers dubbed N3E, though it is not confirmed if this will be the actual name. The enhanced 5nm process that was used to mass produce Apple’s A15 Bionic was dubbed N5P, so it will be interesting if TSMC sticks with this N3E or looks to call it something else.
