TSMC's 3nm chips are coming in 2023, 2nm in 2025

17 June 2022
TSMC's 2nm nodes will feature GAAFET for improved power efficiency.

    I like how by the time we get to highest 3n (x) they start making the 2n!

          this is not Good.. until 2027 or later years the chip size will shrink to Zero..

            IpsDisplay, 19 Jun 2022Sure sure if the design section is 100% perfect designed to... moreNo it's not. The fab process just defines whether it'll be a top 1% product or top 5% product. The bulk of f**kup is in the core chip architecture/design. If you design the chip badly no amount of superior fabrication process will save you, not even miracoulous wonderful almost magical TSMC. It's different story when in reverse and you have great architecture, which is then mildly hindered by the process.

              SShock, 17 Jun 2022That's... not how any of it works...Sure sure if the design section is 100% perfect designed to ultimate perfection

              Which is 80% as you say

              If the NM process is bad it WILL impact the product

              The weakest link principle is universal

                Wews, 19 Jun 2022I think they can go up to 0.1nm(below 1nm) (e.g., 2.0nm ... moreOr it could be Pico Meter = PM

                  It can also be PM

                  (Pico Meter) since pico is smaller than nano.

                    1nm then itll change from

                    NM

                    To AM or ATM (Atomic Meter)

                        Anonymous, 17 Jun 2022After N2, then N1, then N0, After that N (minus)1 = N-1?I think they can go up to 0.1nm(below 1nm)

                        (e.g., 2.0nm is 2nm)

                          samsung good manufacturing x86 or x64 for pc.even nvidia using them...maybe its just dont compatible with arm and Samsung dont wana change that until 3 or 2nm node maybe?

                            Tiramisu, 17 Jun 2022Yeah, Samsung can't manufacture chips optimally even i... moreBut shockingly they are still one of the top and best. Tmsc is just a little better.
                            Go figure

                              Anonymous, 18 Jun 2022Can't be that easily said. It depends on temperature. ... moreYes it can. Chips don't particularly give a s**t if it's 40°C or 42°C. Sure there is some hard limit point where chip freaks out and begins throttling hard, but most chips these days don't just have 2 states like in the past where it had max clock and when it throttled it dropped all the way to the bottom to just 10% of max clock, like from 2GHz to 200MHz. Chips now do it progressively. At 40°C it might run at 2GHz, at 42°C it might drop it to 1.8GHz, at 45°C it might go to 1.5GHz and lets say absolute thermal limit is at 50°C, then it'll drop to just 800MHz. But in most cases it'll not even crawl to there unless the phone was out in the sun and you decided to run a game on already hot phone.

                              Reality is, even though clocks can fluctuate quite a lot in form of numbers, you just won't really notice the difference much with the use itself.

                                    SShock, 18 Jun 2022Yeah, we know. It's insignificant.Can't be that easily said. It depends on temperature. There is less difference when you are comparing 40 and 42 degree and 2 and 4 degree. The difference is same but impacts are not.
