Apple is gearing up to unveil its new M4 family of processors, powering a range of devices from MacBook Pros to Mac minis. These powerful chips, built on TSMC’s cutting-edge 3nm process node, are expected to drive significant growth for the Taiwanese semiconductor giant and fuel a tech-driven holiday season.
Google is ditching Samsung for its upcoming Tensor G5 processor, opting for TSMC’s advanced 3nm process node. This move aims to give Google an edge in the AI smartphone market by integrating hardware and software seamlessly, similar to Apple’s iPhone strategy. The Tensor G5 will be manufactured using TSMC’s cutting-edge 3nm process, placing it at the forefront of mobile processors alongside Apple’s A18 chip.
Intel is reportedly expanding its outsourcing of chip production to TSMC, including its new 3nm process node. The company is also outsourcing backend design and advanced packaging to Taiwanese companies like Egis, Shichixin, and KYEC, indicating a greater reliance on TSMC’s expertise as Intel struggles with its own advanced processes.
