According to China Taiwan Economic Daily, TSMC President Wei Zhejia appeared today at the 2022 TSMC Technology Forum and mentioned that TSMC has been thinking about 3 nanometers for a long time to maintain the FF architecture and will be mass-produced. As for 2 nanometers, you can also share with everyone here Guaranteed mass production in 2025 will be the most advanced technology.
It is reported that TSMC’s 2-nanometer technology is significantly more efficient than its 3-nanometer technology. At the same power consumption, the speed is increased by 10~15%, or at the same speed, the power consumption is reduced by 25~30%.
It is worth mentioning that JC Hsu, the global vice president and general manager of the wireless communication division of MediaTek, presented a cooperation briefing during the speech. Wei Zhejia noticed that “only a 2% increase in efficiency should be one less zero”, and he also humorously said ” Please use 3 nanometers”.
Wei Zhejia also said, “TSMC has the ability to design products, but will never design products by itself. You can trust us to produce products, and you can always succeed if you stay with TSMC forever. The success of TSMC comes from the success of its customers. He also emphasized, “This is different from competitors. Their customers will have their own products launched regardless of whether they are successful or not.”
There has been news recently that TSMC will abandon the N3 process and instead focus on developing the N3E process with better performance and lower cost. According to the information about future advanced processes announced by TSMC at the 2022 technical seminar, the N3 process will be mass-produced in 2022, followed by N3E, N3P, N3X, etc. Among them, N3E should be mass-produced next year, and now Wei Zhejia Announced that 3nm is about to be mass-produced, it should refer to the N3 process, which is also equivalent to refuting the rumor.
