Apple chipmaker TSMC is apparently on track toward manufacturing its 2nm and 1.4nm chips, which could be found in future generations of Apple silicon-based products. The manufacturing time frames for mass production of 2nm and 1.4nm chips have now apparently been determined: Trial production of the 2nm node will begin at in the second half […]
TSMC’s second Arizona-based manufacturing plant could face delays of up to two years and no longer produce the promised 3-nanometer chips. TSMC’s second plant in the state was announced in 2022 with the company increasing its investment from $12 billion to $40 billion for the new factory’s development. This plant was specifically said to be […]
TMSC begins publicly mentioning 1.4-nanometer fabrication for next-gen Apple products
If you think a three-nanometer fabrication process is small and power-efficient, chip manufacturer TSMC has publicly commented on its work on a 1.4nm fabrication technology that is likely destined to underpin future Apple silicon chips. In a slide (via SemiAnalysis’s Dylan Patel) from its Future of Logic panel, TSMC disclosed the official name of its […]
Rumor: Samsung and LG funnel billions into OLED R&D, production for next-gen Macs and iPads
You can’t knock a sustained R&D effort. Samsung and LG are rumored to be looking to corner the market for midsize OLED panels and are investing billions into creating new production lines for next-generation displays slated to appear in future iPad and Mac models. It’s also been rumored that Apple is working to incorporate OLED […]
