-- Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TPE:2330), or TSMC, launched its latest A13 process node, targeting rising demand from AI, high-performance computing, and mobile applications, according to a Thursday press release.
The A13 chip is a smaller version of the A14 platform, reducing chip size by 6% while staying fully compatible for easier design transfer. It also improves performance and power efficiency, with mass production planned for 2029, the chipmaker said.
TSMC also highlighted upcoming A12 and N2U upgrades, along with expanded advanced packaging technologies to support more powerful AI computing systems.
According to a separate Reuters report, TSMC is set to open a chip packaging plant in Arizona by 2029, an executive told the news agency on Wednesday.
