TSMC 5nm Risk Production Starts; Process Delivers 15% Performance Gain

TSMC’s 5nm Process Delivers 1.8X Logic Density And 15% Performance Gain When Compared To 7nm

TSMC, in collaboration with its design partners, has validated its 5nm design through silicon test vehicles.

TSMC’s 5nm is directed primarily towards 5G and IoT [cell-phone type] applications instead of [CPUs] for the time being.


The interesting thing is that 5nm gives almost twice as many "cores" (logic density) as 7nm -- but only 15% more speed. So, long term, CPU clock rates will not change a lot from what they are this Summer when AMD releases 7nm CPUs.
