ARM does not manufacture own chips, they just design and license them. Outside of Intel, pretty much everyone else uses TSMC to build their computing chips.

- hosteur 3y agoNot even amd or TI?
- whstl 3y agoAMD's main manufacturer is TSMC. They also use other companies AFAIK. Texas Instruments has its own factories in the USA but AFAIK they make other kinds of ICs than the popular ones that TSMC is known for, they do mostly analog and embedded (still important stuff). The sibling post to yours lists other factories. There are definitely other companies.
- kmlx 3y ago> Outside of Intel, pretty much everyone else uses TSMC to build their computing chips. this isn’t correct. UMC, SMIC and TI have more than 10 fabs each. Nanya 3 fabs. Micron > 10 fabs. Intel > 10 fabs. Tower Semiconductor 7 fabs. Rohm > 10 fabs. Fuji 4 fabs. Fujitsu 5 fabs. Kioxia 10 fabs. Renesas 9 fabs. and the list goes on and on.
- mschuster91 3y agoMost of these are very large node sizes though [1]. In ultra-small node sizes for processors, there is basically only Intel, Samsung, Globalfoundries (ex AMD) and TSMC.

- bonton89 3y agoEven Intel builds their GPUs at TSMC.
- snvzz 3y agoFor <10nm specifically. And it is TSMC, Samsung and Intel.
