TSMC's 5nm and 3nm processes are among the firm's "hottest" offerings in the markets, as the Taiwan giant has a utilization rate of 100%.

    Man, 3 nm is crazy small. I think they’ve been predicting the end of Moore’s law for a decade now.

      I’m wondering when we’ll see the switch to graphene. Roughly in the ivy bridge era I was hearing about it being the solution to the end of Moore’s law. Any idea where that’s at?

        I remember reading that there is no progress on commercialization and it’s still mostly an R&D project.

        And it’s not like we’ve hit a hard wall in terms of semiconductor fabrication. Prices are going up, but we are still seeing steady and continued improvements with new nodes and packaging approaches.
