Kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo, abavelisi be-chipset bebesenza iitshiphusi zabo zeflegi esekwe kubuchwephesha benkqubo ye-5nm. Nangona kunjalo, abavelisi basebenza kwinkqubo ephezulu kakhulu usebenzisa i-3 kunye ne-2 nm nodes.
Ngoku kujongeka ngathi i-TSMC, oyena menzi wekhontrakthi omkhulu wekhontrakthi emhlabeni, uya kuqala ukuvelisa ngobuninzi beetshipsi ze3nm ukusukela kunyaka olandelayo. Ngoku ka kwingxeloInkampani iyakuqala ukuvelisa kwisiqingatha sesibini se-2022 ngomthamo wokuqhubekeka kweefers ezingama-30.
Yongezwa ngakumbi ukuba ngenxa yezibophelelo zomyalelo kwinxalenye ye iapile I-TSMC iya kwandisa umthamo wemveliso yenyanga yenkqubo yayo ye-3nm ukuya kwiiyunithi ezingama-55 ngo-000, kwaye icwangcise ukwandisa imveliso kunyaka olandelayo emva koko. ukuya kuthi ga kwiipesenti ezingama-2022 ngenyanga.
Xa kuthelekiswa netekhnoloji yenkqubo ye-5nm, itekhnoloji yenkqubo entsha ye-3nm inciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwamandla ngepesenti ye-30 kwaye inyuse ukusebenza ngepesenti ye-15. Ngaphandle kweeodolo ze-3nm chips, inkampani iya kuqhubeka ukugxila kwii-chips ze-5nm ngokunjalo.
Lo nyaka TSMC iya kwandisa umthamo wayo wokuvelisa we-5nm ukuhlangabezana neemfuno ezikhulayo. Okwangoku, amandla ayo ziiyunithi ezingama-90 ngenyanga, kodwa kwisiqingatha sokuqala salo nyaka siza kunyuswa siye kwiiyunithi ezili-000. Ukuphela kwalo nyaka, uceba ukwandisa amandla emveliso ukuya kwiiyunithi ezingama-105.
Umthamo wemveliso ye-TSMC's 2024nm chip kulindeleke ukuba ufikelele kwiiyunithi ezingama-5 ngowama-160. Ukongeza kwiApple, abathengi beenkampani eziphambili basebenzisa itekhnoloji yenkqubo ye-000nm yi-AMD, MediaTek, Marvell, Broadcom kunye Qualcomm phakathi kwezinye.
Nangona kunjalo, i-TSMC inikezele uninzi lwezixhobo zayo kwi-Apple njengoko inkampani ilungiselela ukumilisela uthotho lwayo lwe-iPhone 13, eya kuthi ibonise i-chip ye-A15 eyenziwe nge-5nm + okanye itekhnoloji ye-N5P. Ngokufanelekileyo, yindawo eyonyusiweyo ye-5nm ekwabonelela ngokusebenza kwamandla.
