We talk a lot about process nodes at ExtremeTech, but we don't often refer back to what a process node technically is. With Intel's 10nm node now in production and TSMC + Samsung talking about future ...

TSMC is on track to start high-volume production of chips on N2 (2nm-class), its first production technology that relies on gate-all-around (GAA) nanosheet transistors, in the second half of this year ...

While all eyes tend to focus on the leading-edge silicon nodes, many mature nodes continue to enjoy robust manufacturing demand. Successive nodes stopped reducing die cost at around the 20nm node. “In ...

In a surprise move, Intel announced today that it no longer plans to use its own 'Intel 20A' process node with its upcoming Arrow Lake processors for the consumer market. Instead, it will use external ...

The cost of building new chips keeps rising every node -- so much so that by 3nm, there might be precious few companies that can afford new chips at all. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. Samsung Foundry is reportedly rebranding its 2nd generation 3nm-class fabrication technology -- aka SF3 -- to SF2, its 2nm-class manufacturing process... a ...

As the semiconductor industry continues to push the boundaries of innovation with advanced nodes, it is easy to overlook the critical role that ICs manufactured at legacy process nodes play in our ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. Intel has penciled in that it will be making the world's best chips later this year, beating TSMC, and teasing its next-gen Intel 14A process node that ...

Why it matters: This is the first time Intel has officially unveiled 14A, and although few details were provided, CEO Pat Gelsinger told reporters there will be at least double-digit power-performance ...
