1, the meaning of the chip 3nm, 5nm, 7nm is as follows: The chip 3nm, 5nm, 7nm refers to a chip using 3nm, 5nm, 7nm process, nm is naturally short for length unit nanometer. Simply speaking, x nm refers to the gate width of the complementary oxide-metal semiconductor field effect transistor formed on the CPU, also known as the gate length.
2, nm is the meaning of nano, 3nm is 3nm, so it is the same meaning. Hope to adopt...
3, the nanoscale division of the chip includes 3nm, 5nm, 7nm, 14nm and so on. Among them, the nanometer level refers to the gate length of the CMOS device, that is, the minimum wiring width or processing size. Globally, TSMC and Samsung's 3nm process technology is more advanced, but the current yield of Samsung's 3nm is only 10-20%. The most advanced process technology in China is SMIC's 14nm.
4, with the development of technology, chip manufacturingIn the semiconductor field, it is planned to start the advanced 3nm process in 2022, and it is expected that the monthly production capacity will start from 50,000 pieces, compared with the 5nm process, 3nm in power consumption and performance increased by 30% and 15%. This technological advancement will strongly support the needs of large customers such as Apple, AMD, and Mediatek. The A17 mobile processor currently under development will be mass-produced using TSMC's N3E chip manufacturing technology and is expected to be available in the second half of next year. The A17 will be used on high-end products in the iPhone lineup expected to be released in 2023. N3E is TSMC's mostA new generation of 3nm processes, known as 3nm Ehanced enhancements, only became available this year. What kind of Type-C charging port does the iPhone15 draw, which supports 200w fast charging.
In fact, it is a good thing for ordinary consumers, after all, the chip is better. However, it is not necessarily a good thing for the entire market, which will accelerate Apple's monopoly and is not conducive to the market of other products.
According to MacRumors, Apple and TSMC plan to use an upgraded version of TSMC's 5nm process to make a second-generation AppleThe silicon chip, which will contain two chips, can allow the inclusion of more cores. The chips will likely be used in the next generation of MacBook Pro models and other Mac desktops, the report said.Chips manufactured using TSMC's 3nmN3E process will have better power consumption and performance, while also being able to achieve higher transistor density. This will help improve the speed and efficiency of the device and provide a better user experience.
In recent years, Apple has been a bangs shape, really need to change the face. About Apple's future new phonesThere is more than one breath. In 2023, the iPhone15 or will all be equipped with Apple's self-developed chips: the processor is A17 bionic chip, TSMC 3nm process. At the same time, this Apple phone will also be equipped with self-developed 5G baseband chip, TSMC 5nm process. Rf IC is also Apple self-developed, TSMC 7nm process.
1, the difference is 4 nm. Nanometer (Nanometer, symbol: nm), is a unit of measurement of length, 1 nanometerMeters =10 to the minus 9 meters. Much smaller than the length of a single bacterium. 3nm and 7nm are very small units, there is only one difference of 4mm, there is no other difference.
2, chip 3nm, 5nm, 7nm refers to the use of 3nm, 5nm, 7nm process of a chip, nm is naturally the length of the unit nano for short. Simply speaking, x nm refers to the gate width of the complementary oxide-metal semiconductor field effect transistor formed on the CPU, also known as the gate length.
3, the nanoscale division of the chip includes 3nm and 5nm, 7nm, 14nm, etc. Among them, the nanometer level refers to the gate length of the CMOS device, that is, the minimum wiring width or processing size. Globally, TSMC and Samsung's 3nm process technology is more advanced, but the current yield of Samsung's 3nm is only 10-20%. The most advanced process technology in China is SMIC's 14nm.
4, chip nm grade division: 3nm chip, 5nm chip, 7nm chip, 14nm chip and so on. A chip is a piece of semiconductor made of transistors and other devices needed for a circuit (from Jeff Dahmer). chipA carrier belonging to an integrated circuit. Here, nm actually refers to the gate length of the CMOS device, which can also be understood as the minimum wiring width or minimum processing size.
5, compared with 5nm, 7nm chip process, 3nm chip manufacturing process has higher performance and lower power consumption. This level of chip uses advanced manufacturing technology, such as extreme ultraviolet lithography, multi-layer hard mask, etc., to overcome manufacturing defects and improve manufacturing quality. In addition, the 3nm chip process reduces the size of the transistor and enhances the logical density and processing speed of the chip.
6, as for Intel 5nm, there is no news for the time being, but Intel due to the relatively large advantages in technology, so 7nm can be used for many years, after all, TSMC and Samsung's 5nm compared to Intel's 7nm, the gap is still not small. It is said that Intel's 5nm process can achieve 300 million transistors per square millimeter, and it is estimated that this performance should be achieved by Samsung's 2nm or 1nm process.

4, the nm process is the next generation of 28nm process. The basic transistor unit in the 14nm process is14nm times 14nm. Compared to 28nm, 14nm process transistor size is smaller, making chip design and manufacturing more complex, but also brings higher performance and lower power consumption. The 7nm process is the next generation of the 14nm process. The basic unit of a transistor is 7nm multiplied by 7nm.
5, transistor size: the transistor size of 3nm process is 3nm, and the transistor size of 7nm process is 7nm. This means that the transistor size of the 3nm process is smaller, helping to improve the complexity and performance of integrated circuits. Transistor density: transistors per square millimeterThe number is more than 35 million in the 3nm process and about 15 million in the 7nm process.
6, we generally say that the chip 14nm, 10nm, 7nm, 5nm, refers to the chip manufacturing process, that is, the size of the processing CPU and GPU surface transistor gate circuit. Generally speaking, the smaller the size of the transistor, the more transistors can be accommodated on the surface of the chip of the same size, and the stronger the performance.
