George³ Please, try to rewrite title to be understandable for human. Also fix TYPO "3mn". Reply

hotaru251 TSMC brings its most advanced chipmaking node to the US yet why is there a "yet" that makes no sense? Also its not the most advanced node (its legally not able to have their most advanced nodes outside of Taiwan and you did an article on it a yr ago https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/tsmc-cannot-produce-2nm-chips-overseas-until-domestic-output-becomes-more-advanced-confirms-taiwanese-govt-official). TSMC's own website shows their that 2nm is their most advanced atm. Reply

TSMC's own website shows their that 2nm is their most advanced atm. Yet as in at this time. It's their most advanced manufacturing process on US shores. While I'd prefer a less clunky title it is accurate (also I'd much prefer they used node names instead of node "class" given how little the measurements mean). Reply

thestryker hotaru251 said: yes however title and that are much different You're still misunderstanding the wording. TSMC brings its most advanced chipmaking node to the US yet The meaning of "yet" in this context is "at this time"/"so far". Meaning that this is the most advanced node they've brought to the US to date. Reply

timsSOFTWARE They're 3 million months ahead of schedule – sounds like an enviable position to be in. In seriousness though, it's because they have 2nm in the works in Taiwan that they are allowed to bring 3nm here – so I don't know if you can really call it their "most advanced" node. (And I actually do mean here – I live about 3 miles from the current TSMC fab in Phoenix). Reply
