TSMC unveils new tech for bigger and faster chips
Bangkok Post
|April 26, 2025
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co on Wednesday unveiled technology for making faster chips and putting them together in dinner-plate-sized packages that will boost performance needed for artificial intelligence applications.
It said its A14 manufacturing technology will arrive in 2028 and will be able to produce processors that are 15% faster at the same power consumption as its N2 chips due to enter production this year, or will use 30% less power at the same speed as the N2 chips.
The world's biggest contract manufacturer, which counts Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices as clients, said its forthcoming "System on Wafer-X" will be able to weave together at least 16 large computing chips, as well as memory chips and fast optical interconnections and new technology, to deliver thousands of watts of power to the chips.
