During a technological symposium in the United States, TSMC announced plans for launching chips for 1.4 Nm standards. The A14 process, based on the advanced gate-all-around (GAA) transistors, will be the next step after 2-NM technologies and, according to the statements of the company, will offer noticeable improvements: increasing the calculation speed by 15% with the same energy consumption.
A14 function is a completely redesigned architecture that is not compatible with the existing chip designs. This means that developers have to make projects completely again. One of the most important innovations is the Nanoflex Pro platform. It gives engineers more flexibility when designing, so that you can find a balance between the speed of the chip, energy costs and the size of the crystal. This, as noted in TSMC, accelerates joint work on optimization between developers and manufacturers.
Serial production of chips according to A14 standards will start in 2028. Analysts suggest that the first customer will be Apple, who traditionally cooperates with TSMC at the release of processors for his devices. At the same time, the company is working on the technologies for combining many crystals in a single module – their implementation is expected in 2027.
Experts note that a further decrease in the size of the transistors yields new challenges for industry – of the difficulties to design to cost growth. However, the successes of the TSMC in the development of A14 confirm that Moore’s law continues to act, although it requires more and more time and innovation.
