SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- …
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) recently indicated that its 10nm and 7nm processes are well on their way to be launched on schedule. SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 18, 2020 – Rambus Inc. announced it has expanded its portfolio of high-speed interface IP on TSMC’s industry-leading 7nm process with the addition of its silicon-demonstrated 112G XSR/USR PHY.Offering unmatched power and area efficiency for next-generation applications, the 112G XSR/USR PHY is a critical enabler of chiplet and CPO architectures … Hsinchu, Taiwan, R.O.C., May 28, 2020 – TSMC (TWSE: 2330, NYSE: TSM) today announced the availability of the world’s first 7nm Automotive Design Enablement Platform (ADEP), accelerating time-to-design for customers’ AI Inferencing Engines, Advanced Driver-assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving applications. CPUs are made using billions of tiny transistors, electrical gates that switch on and off to perform calculations. TSMC's 7nm numbers quoted in the post are for the "(mobile) high density" variant of the process, AMD chips use the "high performance" variant which has way lower density, approximately 2/3rds (estimated numbers for each are ~96.5MTr/mm2 and 66.7MTr/mm^2) Posted on … TSMC's 7nm Fin Field-Effect Transistor (FinFET) process technology provides the industry's most competitive logic density and sets the industry pace for 7nm process technology development by delivering 256Mb SRAM with double-digit yields in June 2016. During TSMC's Q3 investor conference, the company indicated that its 10nm qualification is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of this year. Taipei, Tuesday, June 23, …
At this point, TSMC will be on its 2nd gen 7nm before Intel's 10nm moves past a few niche processors. Qualcomm has increased its 7nm chip orders placed with TSMC looking to regain its 4G SoC market share, according to industry sources. “7nm” and “10nm” are measurements of the size of these transistors—“nm” being nanometers, a miniscule length—and are a useful metric for judging how powerful a particular CPU is. The MarketWatch News Department was not involved in the creation of this content. They take power to do this, and the smaller the transistor, the less power is required.
