Although logic circuits are available at every process node, some specialized usages like radio frequency transceivers aren't available on every process node from TSMC.
The most recent node change from TSMC intended for use in cellular modems was the jump from 16nm to 6nm in 2021.
> Compared with 16FFC RF, its predecessor, N6RF supports 3.2X logic density, 55% power reduction, and 0.38X SRAM scaling in terms of digital KPI. N6RF can deliver ideal RF performance and power efficiency for 5G and Wi-Fi 6 & 6E applications that demand both performance and power to enable flexibility for system optimization.
