Apple’s huge TSMC gamble could give it a head start over rivals

OSTN Staff

Last year we saw the first commercial use of chipsets manufactured using the 5nm process. For example, TSMC produced the first such chip found on a smartphone, the A14 Bionic. The latter replaced the 7nm A13 Bionic chipset. The process node is based on the transistor density of a chip, which is the number of transistors that fit inside a square mm. This number is supposed to double every other year in theory, an observation called Moore’s Law first made by former Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in the mid 1960s and revised in the 1970s.
Apple might obtain access to 3nm chips well …
