With Apple's A14 Bionic and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 being the current flagship chipsets, the demand for 5nm process naturally hikes up as well. It is reported that TSMC will increase the monthly production capacity from 60,000 pieces to 100,000 pieces in the second half of the year.

After hearing several rumours, Samsung's first 5nm chipset Exynos 1080 has finally debuted in China today.
