Ngokwemibiko yabezindaba yaseTaiwan, inqubo ye-5nm ye-TSMC izongena ngokusemthethweni ukukhiqizwa kweziningi ngekota lesibili. Ngokusho kwabakhiqizi bemishini, i-oda le-5nm le-TSMC ligcwele engxenyeni yesibili yonyaka. Ngaphezu kweprosesa elandelayo yesizukulwane esizayo ye-A14 ye-Apple, ifaka ne-chip ye-mobile ye-5G Kirin entsha ye-Huawei, i-chip X60 ye-5G modem chip X60 kanye ne-chip yeselula entsha ye-Snapdragon 875. .
Ngemibiko yabezindaba yase-US, i-United States ihlose ukukhawulela umkhawulo wokuqukethwe kwe-teknoloji yase-US kusuka kuma-25% kuya ku-10%, ngaleyo ndlela kuqhubeke nokuvimbela ukunikezwa kwe-chip yeHuawei. Abezindaba baseTaiwan bakholelwa ukuthi inkinga yokwandisa umkhawulo inganyamalala emakethe okwesikhashana. Awukho umthelela ku-TSMC.
Ngokuqondene nezindaba zokuthi i-Samsung iphumelele i-Qualcomm 5nm oda, imakethe ingasebenzisa kalula i-non-A noma i-B logic, icabanga ukuthi uma i-Samsung ithola i-oda, kusho ukuthi i-TSMC izolahlekelwa yi-oda. Eqinisweni, i-Qualcomm ibilokhu idlulisa ama-oda okusungula afinyelela kubakhiqizi abaningi njenge-TSMC ne-Samsung. I-chip ye-Q60comm's X60 ivumela i-TSMC ne-Samsung ukuthi babelane ngokudla, okuhambisana namasu wokukhiqiza we-Qualcomm.
Ngokwesimo sangempela sokuthuthuka kwezobuchwepheshe, inqubekela phambili ye-5nm ye-TSMC ingaphambi kwabanye izimbangi okungenani isigamu sonyaka. Ngemuva kokungena ekukhiqizeni ngobuningi kwikota yesibili, kuzonyusa ngokushesha umthamo wokukhiqiza engxenyeni yesibili yonyaka. Kufika ku-10%, futhi i-oda licishe ligcwele.
