TSMC and Samsung are forced to delay release of next generation processors

It became known that both TSMC and Samsung encountered difficulties in developing the 3nm process technology. Because of this

companies will have to delay the release of chips made to such standards. TSMC now, for example, does not hope to begin mass production earlier than 2022.

Many people use the services of TSMC and Samsungmanufacturers of smartphones and computer components. For example, Apple has already pre-ordered 3nm TSMC processors. The Cupertino-based company currently has a 5nm Apple A14 processor.

Previously, TSMC promised that the 3nm process would bring chips a 10-15% performance increase compared to 5nm counterparts. In addition, the chips will become 20-25% more energy efficient.

TSMC is currently building a new chip manufacturing plant in Arizona, USA.
