It is now April 2021. Many mobile phone manufacturers will hold spring conferences this month, and for many chip manufacturers, they will conduct trial production of more advanced process technology chips in the first half of the year. Chips have always been the most important configuration in mobile phone components. It can be said that having a high-end chip in a mobile phone is half the battle, so every move of the chip concerns the hearts of mobile phone manufacturers.

Recently, it was revealed that TSMC’s 3nm process technology will be mass-produced in advance in the first half of this year. It can be said that this news is quite exciting, because now 5nm chips have top performance. TSMC also revealed that 3nm will be 15% better than 5nm. performance.

In fact, in August last year, TSMC President Wei Zhejia stated at a technology forum that the 3nm process is expected to be trial-produced in the first half of 2021. Recently, TSMC Chairman Liu Deyin said that 3nm will proceed as planned, which means that The 3nm trial production deadline will not be postponed.

What’s more impressive is that Apple directly promised TSMC to place a large number of 3nm orders, so TSMC plans to mass-produce 3nm chips in 2022, with a monthly production capacity of 55,000 pieces. With the support of Apple, its largest customer, TSMC will You can confidently and boldly implement the 3nm process. Every Apple mobile phone will launch with TSMC's most advanced process chips. For example, the A14 on the iPhone 12 series is the world's first 5nm chip.

The iPhone 12 series has become extremely popular because of the most powerful 5nm chip. Although there are several 5nm chips in the Android field, everyone also knows that in terms of performance, Apple processors are basically different from Android. gap, so Apple and TSMC are truly powerful alliances.

The iPhone 12 series is currently selling well. People are mainly going for the 5nm A14 chip it is equipped with, as well as its latest iOS 14 system, and they also support 5G networks for the first time, so these three aspects combined have a lot of domestic products. The flagship cannot compete with the iPhone 12 series.

It will be the same in the second half of this year. TSMC’s 3nm chip process will be launched on the iPhone 13 series, so everyone will find that in terms of performance, Android will basically never catch up with Apple!
