Perhaps, though fab advancements everywhere have slowed to a crawl. TSMC might not be significantly more advanced than what it is today when this fab comes online.
I believe we are rapidly approaching the end of miniaturization. Even now, node sizes are mostly fabricated just to keep advertising smaller numbers.
- chrsw 2y agoThe end of miniaturization I can believe. But the end of performance, I'm not so sure.
- cogman10 2y agoI agree, there's definitely more percentages to gain and possibly even new fab techniques that can result in more densely packed chips using less power. However, those will (likely) be exploitable regardless of when the fab was built. The limiting factor isn't likely going to be the fab equipment so much as the techniques used. That's where I don't know that bigger better fabs is going to be the arms race that it has traditionally been.
