To meet high demand
TSMC is now the only company that mass-produces products using the 3 nm process technology. And the demand for these products is so great that TSMC will increase production by almost 70%.
This year, TSMC plans to increase production volumes from 60,000 to 100,000 wafers per month due to an increase in the number of customers.
Recall that initially Apple bought all 3-nanometer wafers for the production of its SoCs, but this year solutions from other companies, including Qualcomm, MediaTek, Intel and Nvidia, will be produced at 3 nm standards.
In addition, TSMC's die yield is expected to increase to an impressive 80%. This is a lot for the most modern technological process, which has been on the market for less than a year.
However, even with all this, 3-nanometer products at the end of the year will account for only 14-16% of TSMC’s total sales, although this is much more than 6% last year. < /p>
