TSMC's technology now powers MediaTek's latest high-end processor
MediaTek and TSMC Partner to Develop Next-Generation Mobile Flagship SoC
In a significant move for the semiconductor industry, MediaTek Inc, Taiwan's largest chip designer, has announced a partnership with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) to build its next-generation mobile flagship System-on-a-Chip (SoC).
The partnership, according to MediaTek president Joe Chen, has been instrumental in their position in cutting-edge semiconductor technologies. TSMC's advanced 2-nanometer process will be used to build the new SoC, yet to be named.
The adoption of TSMC's 2-nanometer process by MediaTek reflects the company's ambition to support a broad range of applications. This process is expected to offer the world's most advanced density and energy efficiency, promising full-node improvements in performance and power consumption.
The new SoC, speculated to be MediaTek's next-generation mobile flagship SoC, the Dimensity 9600, has completed the tape-out stage and is expected to enter mass production in the second half of this year, with availability at the end of next year.
TSMC's 2-nanometer process marks its entry into nanosheet transistor architecture. Other prominent companies like Apple Inc, Nvidia Corp, and Advanced Micro Devices Inc are also adopting TSMC's 2-nanometer process.
The solutions provided by MediaTek's flagship chips range from edge applications to cloud services. The partnership with TSMC has enabled MediaTek's flagship chips to deliver highly efficient performance.
The report is based on information from a staff writer with CNA. However, no further details about the SoC, such as its specifications or features, were disclosed in the statement. Additionally, the press release did not provide any information about the financial implications or investment in the new SoC project.
The collaboration between MediaTek and TSMC extends beyond mobile platforms. They have also worked together in sectors including computing, automotive electronics, and data centers. The new SoC from MediaTek highlights the strength of their relationship.
Several companies, including MediaTek, are expected to release products built with TSMC's 2-nanometer process. TSMC has made these claims about its 2-nanometer process on its official website.
The name of the new system-on-a-chip planned by MediaTek, produced in collaboration with TSMC using the 2-nanometer process technology, is the Dimensity 9500; it is expected to enter mass production in the second half of 2025 and be available by the end of 2026.
TSMC's commitment to upgrading technologies and enhancing computing performance and energy efficiency is underscored by this partnership. The partnership with MediaTek reflects TSMC's ambition to support a broad range of applications, positioning itself as a key player in the semiconductor industry.
