TSMC seems to be aiming to start producing 3nm chips later this year – good news for Apple’s next-generation processors.

A new report by DigiTimes Asia says the Taiwanese company is expected to produce 30,000 to 35,000 wafers using 3nm process technology. According to Wccftech, the iPad is expected to be the first Apple product equipped with this chip, although no specific model was mentioned.

Will the 3nm chip manufacturing process be applied to Apple chips in 2023?

The Apple M3 and A17 chips are expected to be first released in 2023 for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Based on what TSMC is aiming for, it is likely that these chips will be manufactured based on the 3nm process. This means they should deliver better performance and improved battery life. Recent rumors indicate that the 3nm chip will have four dies, allowing for up to 40 cores to be provided. In contrast, the Apple M1 chip has only 8 cores, while the M1 Pro and M1 Max have 10 cores.

This is good news for the Apple fan community as they have been concerned about TSMC’s 3nm chip production schedule for a while. Earlier this year, there were some reports that TSMC might be having problems with chip production. The semiconductor manufacturing process is complex, and batch failures due to side effects are not uncommon. While many of these defective chips can then be replaced with lower-powered versions, too many errors can cause problems.

A17 Bionic on iPhone 15 will be a strong candidate for 3nm chip.

TSMC occupies a high position in the semiconductor industry when it comes to providing a stable supply of chips to companies, which is very important in the current situation of semiconductor scarcity. But if TSMC fails to master its 3nm process, that could affect AMD, Nvidia and many other companies that have to rely on the old 5nm technology.
