Recently, according to the latest report, Apple andIntelIt has become the first user of the desktop 3nm process chip.

This development shows that although the US Washington Authorities tried to bring more chip to the United States home, the advanced technology of Taiwan Power is still plays a crucial role in the market ambition of American technology companies.

According to informed people, 3 nm production technologies for Apple and Intel 正 积 积 积testTheir chip design is expected to begin in the second half of next year.

Nano is a width between the transistors on the chip. The smaller the number, the more advanced the chip, the greater the difficulty of their manufacturing, the higher the cost. The most advanced chip technology currently used for consumption products is 5 nm technology of Terrace, which is used for all IPHONE 12 processor chips.

According to TSM, 3 nm technology can increase the calculation performance of 10% to 15% compared to 5-nm, while lowering 25% to 30% power consumption.

According to sources, Apple's IPad It may be a terminal device for a processor manufactured by 3 nm technology. The next generation of iPhone will be launched next year. Due to time schedule, TSM 4 nm technology will be used.

Intel, the largest chip manufacturer in the United States, is working with TSMC to carry out at least two 3 nanometer projects, designing a central processor for laptops and data center servers, trying to take back the past few years.AMDEquipment andNvidiaThe market share, the mass production of these chips is expected to begin at the end of 2022.

One of the sources said: "At present, the number of chips of Intel plans exceeds the number of chips that use 3 nm technology Apple iPad."

For Intel designed and manufactured by the chip, the cooperation with TSME is designed to help the company deliver the difficulties until their internal production technology enters the right track. The company has postponed the introduction of its 7-nanometer production technology to around 2023, far behind the Power of Asia's competitors andSamsungelectronic. This company said this week that the release of Intel's latest power-up processor using the company's 10 nanotechnology has also been postponed from the end of this year to the second quarter of next year.

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger describes the relationship between the company and TSME as a "cooperative competition" - combination of cooperation and competition. This US company confirmed this year to confirm that it will cooperate with TSMC in multiple processor chip projects, which is the first time to produce core products for the first time.

The market share of the AMD notebook processor rose from 11% in 2019 to 20% last year, will be used in its notebook processor to use TSM 5 nm chip production technology. The US-market, the highest-value chip company, announced this year, will enter the server chip market, and rob the market share from Intel. According to Ying Weida, British Weida's first server CPU The chip will use TSMP 5 nm technology and will be listed in early 2023.
