We already knew that the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s (TSMC) will be entering into the mass production of its 3nm process nodes. And according to fresh reports, the orders for its next-generation 3nm chip manufacturing process have already started to materialize.
Due to the strong performance of its 7nm process node and intel delaying its manufacturing process, TSMC rose to new heights becoming the world’s largest contract chip manufacturer. It gains more market share as it received orders from big names like Apple.
According to fresh sources, while Apple still retains the place of the biggest customer of TSMC, Intel’s rival Advanced Micro Devices, is soon to become the second-largest customer of the chip manufacturer. This is because AMD witnessed huge success in its chip segments, especially with the EPYC server products.
Recent reports indicate that orders are being flooded to the TSMC’s table and they are coming from three prominent names in the market today namely AMD, Apple and Taiwanese consumer electronics firm MediaTek.
Currently, TSMC is mass-producing semiconductors through its 5nm process node, and it’s expected that most of the bulk of the outputs will head over to Apple for its upcoming annual smartphone refresh.
According to sources, for the company’s 3nm process node technology which will soon be entering mass production Apple, AMD and MediaTek are TSMC’s top three customers.
However, the presence of the company in a higher position in the market isn’t without any hassles. The company is currently dealing with Geopolitical tensions with mainland China and it is still working on establishing its new fab in Arizona, United States.
The current rise and recent drought in Taiwan have also affected the company, but its production remains strong. For more information stay tuned.
