Taiwanese company and leader in the production and design of TSMC semiconductors has announced that its first chips, manufactured with a 1.4-Nm process, will be ready and put into operation in 2028. Although even the most powerful chipsets in the mass market, at least at this point, use 3-nm technology, the development is extremely rapidly.
Some of the top-class chipsets such as the Apple A18 Pro and Snapdragon 8 Elite, for example, use the TSMC 3-nanometer process, and Apple is also expected to be the first company to take advantage of the Asian giant for the iPhone smartphone giant.
However, what can we expect from 1.4 Nm chips? According to TSMC, their focus will be in the manufacture of artificial intelligence. This means that when using this type of chipsets, the device will be able to perform more AI operations locally without the need to send the information to the cloud servers.
Of course, there will also be an increasingly impressive overall hardware power and energy efficiency, but at the center of everything should be a skillful deal with AI apps and packages like Apple Intelligence. As usual, the Cupertino giant is again likely to be among the first companies in the world to be tasked with the process.
In the meantime, this news also puts a lot of questioning about where exactly in the overall chain of influence is one of the direct competitors of TSMC in this field – Samsung, and for the Koreans this is another blow in this direction.
We remind you that although they have announced their intentions to use 2-Nm technology first, they have failed to cope with the technical problems that have arisen on time, leaving the door for TSMC in this direction wide open.
