TSMC 3nm Yield Problems May Derail AMD’s CPU Plans

A report citing semiconductor industry sources indicates that TSMC reportedly has difficulty with its 3nm process yields. Taiwan’s DigiTimes, via Retired Engineer, says that if the 3nm yield problem continues, many customers might extend their use of the 5nm process node. In addition, TSMC’s struggles could impact the product roadmaps of the PC world’s favorite names like AMD and Nvidia.

It’s essential to take the report with a pinch of salt. The people in the know might be correct, but TSMC hasn’t publicly admitted any N3 delays so far. On the contrary, it has asserted that it is “on track with good progress.”
