TSMC has just announced the latest strides in its cutting-edge process development roadmap. The company has confirmed that the development of its next-generation A14 (1.4 - nanometer) process is on track and proceeding seamlessly. Impressively, the yields have already surpassed internal projections well ahead of the anticipated timeline.

When compared to the N2 (2 - nanometer) process, the A14 process brings about remarkable enhancements across multiple key metrics. In terms of performance, it achieves a 15% uptick in operating speed while maintaining the same level of power consumption. Regarding power efficiency, it cuts power consumption by 30% when operating at the same speed. Additionally, it boasts a 20% increase in transistor density.

These significant advancements are primarily due to the integration of the second - generation GAAFET nanosheet transistor technology and the adoption of the new NanoFlex Pro standard cell architecture.

TSMC has set its sights on initiating A14 process production in 2028. This move is poised to offer robust technological upgrade support to clients, including industry giants like Apple.
