This is an announcement for construction of a "5 or 3nm fab as early as 2022." So, five years out, minimum, and the node size is a moving target.
The title is a bit clickbaity.
- foobarian 9y agoI found some side concerns interesting: - an earlier node was delayed due to environmental permitting - this project will require a lot of land - the Taiwanese government is committed to keeping this fab at home, and willing to work with TSMC on the environmental issues.
- microcolonel 9y agoYeah, I think it'll be important from the perspective of the... tenuous relationship between PRC and ROC. In that sense, there is almost no environmental stress that wouldn't be worth overcoming.
