The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is moving full speed ahead with its construction of a new fabrication facility in Tainan, Taiwan. This facility will be the world's most advanced chip manufacturing plant after completion, as it will manufacture chips through what TSMC markets as the 3nm process node. The company's speedy progress in developing manufacturing technologies over the course of the past couple of years has allowed it to gain an edge over Santa Clara chip behemoth Intel Corporation, even as Intel's older nodes are thought to be theoretically equivalent to TSMC's latest.
