TSMC starts constructing facilities to turn out 3nm chips by 2023

Powerful chipsets like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, Apple A13 Bionic and Huawei's HiSilicon Kirin 990 all have something in common. While designed by Qualcomm, Apple, and Huawei respectively, all three chips are actually manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the largest independent foundry in the world. And all three are produced using some variation of TSMC's 7nm process. That number indicates how many transistors fit inside an integrated circuit. The lower the process number, the higher the number of transistors inside a chip. The more transistors found inside ...
