Wafer manufacturers are ready to make the leap to a most advanced node than the current 4 nm already used in some processors and GPUs. According to We can read at Digitimes, TSMC is poised to begin mass production of chips with 3 nanometer technology in your Fab 18. As one of its major customers, Apple will be the first to take advantage of this production, which will power its upcoming Apple Silicon M2 Pro processors by 2023.
This initial production of TSMC at 3 nanometers will go to the M2 Pro that Apple will place in the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Prosas well as the new Mac Mini and the more powerful MacStudio. Thanks to this more advanced node, the devices that have the M2 Pro will offer superior performance in common tasks for professionals or demanding users such as video encoding or tasks that require advanced graphics.
With this mass manufacturing, TSMC opens a new possibility to its customers with this most advanced node of 3 nanometers. For this, TSMC will celebrate it on the 29th with a ceremony at the manufacturer’s facilities in Taiwan, where will give more details of his plans to expand the production of this node.

I am a Computer Engineer and my specialty is automation and robotics. My passion for hardware began at the age of 14 when I gutted my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and a 210MB hard drive. I continue to give free rein to my passion in the technical articles that I write at Geeknetic. I spend most of my free time playing video games, contemporary and retro, on the 20+ consoles I own, in addition to the PC.
