MediaTek develops first 3nm chip using TSMC process technology

MediaTek has successfully developed its first 3nm chipset based on TSMC’s 3nm process technology. The new 3nm chipset will make its commercial debut next year as a member of the flagship Dimensity series. The press release did not go into details regarding the new SoC, only shedding light on TSMC’s 3nm process which offers substantial gains over the outgoing 5nm N5 process.

Based on the provided data, TSMC’s new 3nm process is 18% faster using the same power draw. It also brings a 32% power reduction at the same speed while offering a 60% increase in logic density. MediaTek will launch its 3nm chips based on TSMC’s process technology for smartphones, tablets, intelligent cars and other devices starting H2 2024.
