Is that an actual product differentiation from TSMC? Or just observational + the fact that it's 5nm.
I'm actually curious from a chip manufacturing standpoint.
- hajile 5y agoThere’s actually three major version on N3 (sorry, I don’t have time to look up the similar articles on N5/7, but I think wikichip has a couple). https://www.techdesignforums.com/blog/2021/06/03/three-libraries-tune-speed-and-density-on-tsmcs-3nm-process/ https://www.techdesignforums.com/blog/2021/06/03/three-libra... I remember seeing a picture of a partner list for a TSMC node with a couple dozen libraries that not only changed based on density, but also on type of chip being built.
