TSMC is aggressively promoting 1nm chips, and foreign media Samsung will not be able to match
TSMC made another big move, launching Sprint's 1nm chip, foreign media: Samsung is out of help.

At the end of the day, 5nm is the end point of chip development due to the limitations of chip production technology, and TSMC and Samsung have already started mass production of 4nm and 3nm chips and will take it to the next level. TSMC has launched to the 1nm process"Stride", foreign media: Samsung is hopeless.
TSMC accelerates development of 1nm wafers.
It is widely believed that Moore's Law has come to an end and that there will be no major advances in the wafer fabrication process. According to Moore's Law, an integrated circuit can double the number of transistors on a chip in 18 months, but reduce it by half. To put it simply, integrated circuits will have better performance and lower costs.
Moore's Law has dominated the semiconductor manufacturing process for decades and continues to do so today. However, before 5nm, process technology progress was slow, and TSMC has split the 3nm process into multiple processes and will complete mass production of the 2nm process in 2025.
Moore's Law is not over yet, but as processing technology continues to advance, the chip manufacturing process will become increasingly difficult and expensive. Obviously, these costs will be borne by the customer, so it is incumbent on wafer manufacturers such as TSMC to continue to make new advances in wafer processes so that customers can get more efficient contracts.
As a result, TSMC has taken the offensive towards 1-nanometer chips"One big step"。At the IEEE International Electronic Components Conference, TSMC announced its latest wafer processing plan to achieve a 1nm A10 process by 2030, with more than 20 billion wafers integrated into a single wafer.
Thanks to advanced packaging processes, 1 trillion transistors can be integrated into a single chassis.
The more transistors that can be placed on a wafer, the faster the performance and therefore the greater the performance improvement. While 1nm may seem far away, it is undoubtedly an important part of TSMC's future development.
Before 1nm scale production, TSMC had to mass-produce 2nm and 14nm, the current 2nm factory has started construction, and it will be put into production as soon as 2025, and at this time 1nm has entered the production stage.
Samsung catches up with TSMC.
TSMC is the world's largest foundry with a market share of about 60%. It continues to invest in R&D and is a leader in high-end processes, with 7nm, 5nm, and 3nm processes being commercialized. On this basis, they further improve the integration of integrated circuits, reduce energy consumption, and improve system efficiency.
Samsung has surpassed TSMC to become the world's leading chip manufacturer and has invested heavily in improving the performance of its chips. However, TSMC has already started developing the 1nm process and has significant technological advantages.
However, it will become more difficult to catch up with TSMC in terms of wafer performance, customer resource support, and wafer capacity. Foreign media: Samsung is hopeless, how easy is it for Samsung to surpass TSMC?
There will be no new discoveries until Moore's Law comes to an end. At that point, TSMC's development is likely to slow down or even stagnate, and the new processes and architectures developed by Samsung will turn the tide.
In this regard, Samsung's first thing to do is to deal with customers; Without customer orders, there won't be much progress even if the wafers are produced.
