Njengamanje usayizi we-node omncane kakhulu esiwabona kuma-processor we-smartphone ngu-7nm. Lawa masethi ama-chipsets asebenza kahle futhi enza kangcono kunalawo amakhulu; lapho zincane, zinama-transistor amaningi.
Njalo ngonyaka sibona intuthuko enkulu embonini ye-chipset. Umthetho kaMorey uphakamisa ukuthi njalo eminyakeni emibili inani lama-transistors kuma-microprocessor kufanele liphindwe kabili njengoba usayizi wabo uncipha, ngakho-ke izinkampani ezinkulu emkhakheni onjengokuthi TSMC baphoqeleka ukuthi baqhubekele phambili njalo ukukhiqiza ama-chipset angcono futhi amancane anezakhiwo ze-nm. Okusebenza kahle kakhulu okukhiqizwa yilolu hlobo manje kungamapulatifomu weselula angama-7nm, kepha ngo-2025 kulindeleke ukuthi inikeze izixazululo ze-2nm.
Yize sekuvele kunezinhlelo zokuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe be-TSMC 2nm, Ukwakhiwa okususelwa ku-5nm kulindeleke ukuthi kube sekulungile ngasekupheleni kwalo nyaka, Okungamela ukwanda kokusebenza okuphawuleka kakhulu kuma-chipset esizukulwane esilandelayo.
Ngokombono, Izipisi ze-2nm zizokwazi ukubamba ama-transistor aphindwe izikhathi ezingama-3.5 kunama-chipset ama-7nm amahle kakhulu atholakala emakethe. Lokhu kuzoholela ekusetshenzisweni kwamandla okuphansi kakhulu nokusebenza kahle komsebenzi.
I-TSMC, ngakolunye uhlangothi, isanda kuveza umgwaqo we-3nm chip, oqhubeka njengoba bekuhleliwe. Iqoqo lokuqala lokukhiqizwa kwebhizinisi kulindeleke ukuthi liqale ngonyaka we-2021, lilandelwe ukukhiqizwa kwevolumu engxenyeni yesibili ka-2022. Le nkampani itshala imali kakhulu ku-R & D ukuthola izixazululo zayo zobuchwepheshe ezizayo; akukho ukuphumula.
Umncintiswano omkhulu we-TSMC yi-Samsung. Kodwa-ke, iSouth Korea isazokwenza ama-chips angama-5nm futhi ibambezele ngisho nama-chipsets angama-3nm kuze kube ngu-2022 ngenxa yobhadane lwe-COVID-19. Kubonakala sengathi kusele ngemuva kakhulu.
