TSMC lands chip orders for 12nm process
 

Nvidia, MediaTek, Silicon Motion and HiSilicon for now

TSMC has just landed several chip orders for its 12-nanometer half-node process, a smaller version of its existing 16nm FinFET technology that will allow it to compete against Samsung and GlobalFoundries at a lower cost than its existing lineup.

According to various industry sources, the company has received chip orders from Nvidia, MediaTek, Silicon Motion Technology and HiSilicon. Nvidia is expected to use TSMC’s 12nm process to fabricate graphics processors for AI computing and self-driving cars, while MediaTek will use it to build a new SoC lineup for mobile devices.
