TSMC won a big order from NXP at 5nm

TSMC's 5nm manufacturing process added a major customer NXP on the 12th. NXP's next-generation high-performance automotive platform will use TSMC's 5-nanometer process. TSMC will deliver the first batch of 5-nanometer process samples to NXP in 2021.

The main customers of TSMC’s 5nm customers were Apple and Huawei’s HiSilicon, which was affected by the expansion of the US ban on Huawei. Foreign investors believe that in the fourth quarter of this year, TSMC’s 5nm process may experience a decline in capacity utilization, but now it seems that TSMC customers are grabbing The upsurge in production capacity continues.

According to TSMC, based on multiple successful designs in the 16-nanometer process, the new generation of automotive processors will build a 5-nm system-on-chip (SoC) platform. TSMC’s 5-nanometer process will be used. NXP products will provide more Various functions and workload requirements, including a connected cockpit, a high-performance domain controller, autonomous driving, advanced networks, hybrid propulsion control, and integrated chassis management.

TSMC emphasizes that the 5nm process technology is currently the most advanced mass production process in the world. NXP will use the 5nm strong version process (N5P). Compared with the previous 7nm process, its speed is increased by about 20% and power consumption is reduced. About 40%.
