TSMC today introduced its N4P process, the third major enhancement of its 5 nm family for extending the performance, power efficiency, and density leadership of the platform. Described as a performance-focused enhancement, N4P offers a 11 percent performance boost over TSMC’s original N5 technology. It also offers an impressive 22 percent improvement in power efficiency over N5, as well as a 6 percent improvement in transistor density.



From TSMC:



TSMC customers often invest precious resources to develop new IP, architectures, and other innovations for their products. The N4P process was designed for an easy migration of 5nm platform-based products, which enables customers to not only better maximize their investment but will also deliver faster and more power efficient refreshes to their N5 products.



“With N4P, TSMC strengthens our portfolio of advanced...
