No Comments on TSMC outlines 1.6-nanometer production process, other elements for next-gen chips

TSMC’s next-generation Apple silicon chips are only going to get smaller and more powerful. The chipmaker on Thursday announced plans to create 1.6-nanometer chips that could be used in future generations of Apple silicon processors. TSMC yesterday unveiled a series of technologies, including the “A16” process, which is a 1.6nm node. The new technology significantly […]

Post date December 15, 2023

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 […]
