TSMC 3nm Plus process will be unveiled in 2023
No doubt, TSMC is the most advanced chipmaker in the world. However, it is facing strong competition from Samsung which is almost on par with the Taiwanese company. TSMC has successfully mass-produced the 5nm process in the first quarter of this year. Its next focus will be on the more advanced 3nm process. The research and development of the company are advancing according to schedule. According to reports, just like the 7nm process, the 3nm process will also have a second generation. The company will call the second-generation 3nm Plus (or 3nm+).
