In September last year, we reported on how MediaTek will be mass-producing a new mobile processor using TSMC’s 3nm technology in 2024. Now, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has claimed that this SoC would be the Dimesnity 9400 and gave further alleged details on the processor.

Apple is reportedly going all in with N3, TSMC’s first-generation 3nm process and has secured all available orders for the process’ initial supply. It is believed that the 3nm chips would be powering Apple’s upcoming iPhone 15 series and M3 MacBooks.

TSMC's 3nm chips will soon enter commercial production this week. As the primary customer of the semiconductor manufacturer, Apple could first use the 3nm chips for upcoming M2 Pro chips that are expected to power the updated MacBook Pro and Mac mini models.

TSMC has reportedly performed better than expected in the industry for the third quarter of 2022. The chip-making company had recorded a 48% increase in revenue, while the others suffered. However, it seems like the company wouldn't achieve the number without its big customer, and it's Apple.

Apple may become the first tech company to use Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s (TSMC) latest 3nm chipmaking technology. In fact, Apple’s iPhones and Macs may use TSMC-produced 3nm chips as early as next year.

TSMC has announced its development timeline at the 2022 TSMC Technology Symposium. With that said, we're now able to know when are the new chip technologies arriving.

TSMC will reportedly enter mass production for the next-generation 3nm process in the second half of 2022. According to the source, the semiconductor manufacturer is on track to supply Apple with its latest technology in 2023.

It's about time for Sony to present the Xperia 5 IV after the launch of Xperia 5 III happened for almost a year. With that said, the latest rumour of the device has come at the right time. One of the things has even given us a clue on the launch timeline.

TSMC's favourite customer is undoubtedly Apple, as most of its sales belong to the Cupertino-based company. Therefore, the semiconductor manufacturer would leave the best to the tech giant, and it might have made someone jealous. According to a recent report, AMD is considering switching to Samsung for its 3nm products due to the TSMC's special treatment for Apple.

While some companies like Samsung can manufacture their mobile chips, most rely on other manufacturers to do it. Of the bunch, TSMC is easily the biggest in the business. It even makes most of Apple's chips and is on schedule to develop the Apple A16 Bionic.
