Taiwan Semiconductor provides Apple and Intel with technology
Both tech giants will be using the latest generation of Taiwanese semiconductors.

The next generation chip maker, Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd. (NYSE: TSMC), technology giants Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) & Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) will be among its first-time adopters. The chip designs developed by Intel & Apple are tested using TSMC's 3-nanometer production technology. The chips will hit the market in the second half of 2022. Taiwan Semiconductor's 5nm technology is the most advanced chip production used for consumer products. For example, the processor chips in the iPhone 12 are developed using 5 nm technology from TSMC. Compared to 5 nm technology, TSMC's 3 nm technology increases computing power by up to 15%. In addition, the 3 nm technology also reduces power consumption by 25 to 30%. The first device to use 3 nm technology will be Apple's iPad. The next generation of iPhones, expected to hit the market in 2022, will use the intermediate 4nm technology. In addition, Intel is working with Taiwan Semiconductor on two 3nm projects. These projects, designed for notebooks and data center servers, will make it easier for Intel to provide frightening competition to its competitors, including Advanced Micro Devices and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA). The chips should be produced by next year. According to some reports, the volume of chips planned for Intel is larger than Apple's iPad. Until Intel establishes its own manufacturing facility for the design and manufacture of chips, Taiwan Semiconductor will handle the design and manufacture of chips for Intel. Intel will not bring its own 7 nm production technology to market until 2023. The company has postponed the launch of its latest Xeon processors based on 10nm technology. Intel will launch the Xeon processors in 2022. Pat Gelsinger, the CEO of Intel, said the partnership with Taiwan Semiconductor will make it easier for Intel to reach new heights. It is the first time that Intel will outsource the production of chips. AMD, Intel's competitor, posted 20% growth in notebook processors in 2020. As a result, AMD also plans to adopt Taiwan Semiconductor's 5-nanometer technology.
