TSMC 3nm Process Aims For 250m Transistors Per mm2
Given that we’ve only really seen the 7nm node design platform for around a year now (technically, on a consumer level, with the launch of the short-lived AMD Radeon VII GPU) we’re clearly more than a few years away from seeing our first 3nm release. In a report via TechPowerUp,…

TSMC 5nm Node Increases Transistor Density by up to 84-87%
Earlier this month, we reported how TSMC estimated that, all going well, they should begin full-blown 5nm chipset production by April. Now, admittedly, that date is entirely open for speculation now following the Coronavirus outbreak, it seems though that when the chip is released, we’re going to see some pretty…
