IT Home reported on October 20 that according to Taiwan's Economic Daily, in response to the news that "TSMC has once again postponed the mass production of 3 nanometer chips for three months", TSMC responded that the development of the 3 nanometer process is in line with expectations and has a high yield, and will mass produce later in the fourth quarter.
Industry insiders pointed out that the news of "re-delay" should be related to TSMC's initial statement that "3 nanometers are expected to be mass-produced in the second half of 2022", but it also fell in the second half of the year in the fourth quarter, and TSMC's 3 nanometers did not have the problem of "delaying mass production".
IT Home learned that TSMC President Wei Zhejia recently mentioned at the Fascrow meeting that the 3-nanometer progress meets expectations, has good yields and will be mass-produced in the fourth quarter. Driven by high-speed computing and smartphone applications, customers' demand for 3-nanometers exceeds the production capacity of .
financial report shows that in the third quarter of this year, TSMC's revenue was US$20.23 billion (about RMB 145.049 billion), with a gross profit margin of 60.4%, and a net operating profit margin of 50.6%. During the reporting period, TSMC's 5-nanometer shipments accounted for 28% of the total wafer revenue; 7-nanometer shipments accounted for 26%; 7-nanometer and more advanced processes accounted for 54% of the total wafer revenue .
