The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has increased the shipments of its 5-nanometer (nm) process technology family. This is the most advanced technology in TSMC's portfolio, with the fab looking to move forward to 3nm manufacturing later this year. Today's report comes courtesy of the Taiwanese publication DigiTimes, which claims that the output increase is to facilitate orders from several companies in the personal computing industry, particularly in the wake of reported yield problems that the Korean chipmaker Samsung Foundry is currently facing.
Samsung and TSMC are the only two companies in the world that offer third parties their chipmaking services, in a duopoly that has seen TSMC take a strong lead due to its consistently reliable deliveries and regular technology upgrades.
