We’re already seeing the benefits of TSMC’s 3nm chips in a variety of phones, thanks to the chips being used in flagship CPUs like Apple’s A18 and the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

MediaTek has developed its first chip using TSMC's 3nm process. It delivers an 18% increase in performance at the same power consumption. However, the chip won't be commercially available until 2024.

Leading nodes (3nm and 2nm) will account for roughly one-third of the smartphone SoC shipments in 2026, according to ...

According to TSMC, the 3nm technology will offer “up to 70 percent logic density gain, up to 15 percent speed improvement at the same power and up to 30 percent power reduction at the same speed ...

As more details emerge about power consumption and logic density, the industry will gain a clearer picture of how Intel’s 18A compares to TSMC’s N2 in real-world applications. Last modified on ...

TSMC increases wafer pricing with each new node although transistor density ... so the price increased from $5,000 for a 28nm wafer with A7 processors to $18,000 for a 3nm-class wafer ...

Apple was first with TSMC’s initial 3nm process, which was called N3. The company has now refined that with the N3E process, which is what we think Apple will use in its most advanced products ...

TSMC’s CEO C.C. Wei expects the 3nm manufacturing process to be worth more than $1.5 trillion business within five years of vol. production. The N3 wafers cost around $20,000 compared to $16,000 ...

Significant power, performance, and density improvements. TSMC has revealed further details about its N2 (2nm-class) fabrication process at the IEEE International Electron Device Meeting (IEDM).

This meant that rival chip-makers, like Qualcomm, couldn’t utilize TSMC’s 3nm process for the first year — giving iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max a performance advantage.
