just copy paste that quote from me in google search and all the links shows up :) but never mind here it is...


"Monster chip foundry TSMC has confirmed its 3nm production node is on track for full mass production in the second half of 2022, . TSMC reckons its 3nm node will pack in somewhere north of 250 million transistors per square millimetre of silicon"
So we can see those late 2022 macs to be the first
So good times...and as far as i know TSMC never lied
Did you see the sub-heading? "But probably a bit later than 2022..." The article does not explain why they said that but it almost certainly is that the 2022 date is for risk production. Anyway, second half of 2022 is probably too late for Apple's next Mx SoC.
