SMIC’s Next Generation Process
TechInsights is first and foremost focused on supporting innovation and decision making. Because of the far-reaching interest in this latest technology, we thought we would share some of the discussions we’ve been having. Here are a few of the common questions we are seeing, and our corresponding answers.
MPR Editorial: Nanometer Nonsense
Both leading foundries allowed customers to claim they were using a 4nm process when, in fact, they were using 5nm technology. This situation renders node names meaningless. Featured in our July 22 Microprocessor Report we are making this available, in full, for a limited time.Latest Report Analysis
A Deep Dive report is a detailed product disassembly analysis that examines the latest personal electronics and provides unique construction, benchmarking, and cost data in a highly-digestible and graphics-rich format. The products are torn down using proprietary methods developed at TechInsights to provide a disassembly report with a multi-disciplinary "system view."
