TSMC introduced a new 1.4nm process: Samsung is again in the role of a catch-up

Taiwanese company TSMC, the world's leading contract chip manufacturer, presented its new A14 process technology with a transistor size of 1.4 nm at its technology symposium in North America. SamMobile writes about this.

The process is scheduled to be in production by 2028 and is already outperforming expectations. The technology delivers up to a 15% performance increase at the same power or up to a 30% reduction in power consumption at the same speed, as well as a 20% increase in logic density compared to the 2nm process.

Samsung Foundry, which is trying to close the gap with TSMC, is currently facing difficulties. The company has postponed the development of the 1.4nm process, focusing on improving the 3nm and 2nm technologies. Problems with the 3nm GAA process have led to the loss of orders, which is causing Samsung to lose significant money. Currently, the productivity of its 2nm process is 30%, which is half the performance of TSMC.

TSMC, thanks to the stability of its technologies, remains the industry leader with a market share of 67.1% and continues to receive orders from companies such as Apple, Qualcomm, AMD and Intel, strengthening its position.
