few reminders from TSMC conference in April 2019 in Santa Clara :
6nm : risk production is planned for 1Q20
N5 : risk production started in March'19 as planned
N5P : performance version of n5 : planned to be ready in 2020
since N5 offer 1.8X logic density reduction compared to N7and N6 only...
and we still get news that HiSilicon will be the first to have a product in 7nm+ (EUV) from TSMC. but without CAD tools (I suppose Cadence is probably cutting ties as well) and without ARM support and License, is it even possible ? Apple and Qualcomm will be the 2 true first to access the...
Today TSMC announced a new technology in 22nm ULP which is actually a shrink of the 28nm HKMG technology.
Overall the technology is offer 15% improvement, 35% power reduction and 10% area benefits over 28HPC+ for the same mask count, Sram bit cell etc... and Vmin is 0.6V...
