Samsung has begun mass production of the world's first 3nm chip, and TSMC is expected to adopt this process by the end of the year.
According to Samsung, chip models on the 3 nm process use more than 45% power than current 5 nm chips, while improving performance by 23% and using less than 16% surface area. The company said that the second-generation 3 nm chip will reduce power consumption by 50%, reduce size by 35%, and improve future performance by 30%.
Samsung's achievement is considered a milestone in competing with TSMC, a leading company in chip manufacturing and processing, and is a major partner of a series of well-known companies including. Apple, MediaTek...
However, according to Bloomberg reports , Samsung cannot yet occupy the current market share of TSMC unless it proves the effectiveness of the 3nm process to be competitive in the market.
Samsung representatives said that the original 3nm chips will be equipped with "high-performance, low-power consumption" products, not mobile devices. However, the company plans to apply the 3nm process to mobile chips in the near future.
Currently, 3nm chips are first produced in Huasong factory, and then expanded to Pingtek in South Korea. At the same time, the Samsung factory in Texas plans to launch the first 3nm chip in 2024.
