AI Revolution: TSMC's 3nm Tech Steals the Show
TaiwanMon Oct 14 2024
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is making waves with its 3nm process technology. This tiny but powerful tech is catching the attention of big players like Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD in the AI world. Let's see who's jumping on the TSMC 3nm bandwagon and why.
TSMC's 3nm tech is in high demand. Companies are planning their future chips around this process. For example, Apple is working on its A19 Pro chip, while MediaTek has the Dimensity 9400 and Google is brewing up the Tensor G5. Now, it's time to look at who's using TSMC's 3nm for AI accelerators.
AMD is set to use TSMC's 3nm for their next-gen Instinct MI355X AI accelerator. This new chip will be part of the CDNA 4 architecture, promising top performance. AMD might not have as many AI products as NVIDIA, but they're focusing on quality.
Speaking of NVIDIA, they're working on the "Rubin" architecture using TSMC's 3nm. This won't hit the market until 2026, so NVIDIA is taking its time. But keep an eye out for next year – there might be a special AI PC SoC coming from NVIDIA and MediaTek featuring this 3nm tech.
Intel is also in the mix with their Falcon Shores architecture. This is a big deal for Intel, as they're switching to TSMC's 3nm to boost their AI game. Falcon Shores could turn things around for Intel in the AI market.
TSMC's 3nm process is getting love from mobile, automotive, and AI industries. This means big bucks for TSMC, and maybe a new record for their most successful product ever.
