Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing said its next-generation A14 fabrication process is designed to drive artificial-intelligence transformations by delivering faster computing and greater power efficiency.
The Taiwanese company said Wednesday that the technology is planned to begin production in 2028.
The new process is also expected to enhance smartphones by improving their on-board AI capabilities, as well as contribute to the development of high-performance computing solutions and new automotive capabilities.
Compared with the N2 process, which will enter volume production later this year, the A14 will offer up to 15% speed improvement at the same power, or up to 30% power reduction at the same speed, along with more than 20% increase in logic density, the company said.
The technology will advance the chipmaker's capabilities as it aims to remain at the cutting edge of the industry.
Shares rise 4.1%, to $157.56, in Wednesday trading.
