TSMC has ramped up output of 7nm chips ahead of new Apple iPhones set to debut this fall, reports DigiTimes.The ramp-up is said to boost TSMC's 7nm production capacity to 12 million 12-inch equivalent wafers in 2018. That's up 9% from 10.5 million units last year.
Orders for Apple's custom A12 processor for use in the upcoming iPhones will play a major driver of TSMC's 7nm chip production growth in 2018, according to market sources. The foundry has secured 7nm chip orders from about 20 customers including AMD, Bitmain, Nvidia and Qualcomm. The majority of the orders will be carried out in the first half of 2019, the sources said.
