The Taiwan Style Circuit Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC) announced that the A16 chip manufacturing technology launched by the A16 will be mass -produced in the second half of 2026.

According to Reuters, TSMC made the above announcement on Wednesday (April 24) at a technical forum held in San Clara, California, USA.TSMC executives said that artificial intelligence chip manufacturers will adopt the above technologies earlier than smartphone manufacturers.

TSMC said that this new technology will allow electricity to transport electricity from the back of the chip to the computing chip, which will help speed up the operation speed of artificial intelligence chips. This is the field where TSMC and American competitors Intel have been competing.Essence

Zhang Xiaoqiang, Senior Vice President of TSMC, told reporters that, in response to the needs of artificial intelligence chip companies, the company has completed the development of the new type of chip manufacturing technology earlier than expected, but it is not specifically explained which artificial intelligence chip is forThe company creates these chips.

Zhang Xiaoqiang said that TSMC does not think that the Dutch semiconductor giant ASML (ASML) is a high-value aperture (HIGH-NA) extremely UV-checked (EUV) manufacturing A16 chip.

Intel announced last week that it will purchase a high -value pore diameter ultraviolet optical machine price for manufacturing to manufacture 373 million US dollars (about S $ 58 million) per unit for manufacturing for 14A.Chip.Intel said in February this year that the company's new 14A new chip manufacturing technology will allow them to surpass TSMC and produce the fastest -operated chip in the world.
